Hello and welcome! This week is all about occasions at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge Website and Marsha is our hostess.
I wanted to make a CAS watercolor valentine for my husband this year. With pencil, I drew a heart shape in the bottom right corner of a Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigment panel. Next, with a brush, I filled the heart in with clean water and then dropped Kuretake watercolors into the heart. I wanted the pinks and purples to blend. After the panel was dry, I heat embossed the sentiment (My Monthly Hero, January 2019). I erased the pencil lines, trimmed with a stitched rectangle die and mounted onto a top folding A2 card that I had made.
I am very pleased with the valentine and hope Mark likes it too!
