Misty Watercolor Memories with the Paper Players

Hey y'all!  It's Sunday which means it's time for a new Paper Players challenge, and Jan has a fun one for us today:


I was quite taken with the idea of a watercolor landscape, so here is what I made:


I die cut a piece of watercolor paper with the square from the Stylish Shapes dies, and then die cut some mountains from the Scenic Adventure dies, which did cut my square into two pieces but we'll get to that in a minute.  I watercolored my scene, hit it with my heat tool to make it dry faster (impatience, thy name is me), and then adhered both pieces to a Basic Beige card front and stamped the greeting on it.  I die cut the trees out of Mossy Meadow and scrunched up a piece of cling wrap, inked it up on my Mossy Meadow ink pad, and pounced it on the trees to give them a bit of texture.  Easy!

My mom is still recovering from open-heart surgery, so I sent this card off to her as soon as I finished making it.  I hope you'll play along and share your card on the Paper Players blog.  Don't forget to keep it CAS!  And take a look at what the other Paper Players made for more wonderful inspiration!

Beautiful, Christy! This is such a perfect clean and simple design. I love the shading of your watercoloring. The speckling on the trees adds beautiful texture. May your mom have a speedy recovery. I am sure she will treasure your card. Have a wonderful week!

What a clever way to create your watercolored scene! Very calming and serene!
