Promises

Hello Everyone,

I hope this message finds all of you safe and healthy. I know we need to open up which rattles my nerves a bit but, that is not why I am here. I am here to enter my card into CAS Watercolour Challenge and CAS(E) this Sketch. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

Lots of color laid down to create this night sky. I got this technique from Kristina Werner. She taught me to use a simple Crayola watercolor set into a night sky.
 If you haven't seen any of her videos I invite you to check it out. She will not disappoint.

After the color layer was completely dry I started adding the black around the edges and then slowly going inward. Plus, the paper warped just a bit to create a darker edge. Oh, I love those happy mistakes! I think her technique was effective. 

This was probably the hardest part of the card was choosing a sentiment that fit the bill for such a pretty sky. I ran across this and thought it would be perfect. I used Versamark black and the MISTI to stamp it a few times to get the maximum black color on the card.
Challenges Entered:

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. Lots of good crafting vibes headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and please stay safe and healthy. 

All the best,
