I was inspired by how Jacqueline used the Simple Frame from Hero Arts to create a frame (of course) around a scene. Hers is breathtakingly beautiful, you can view it here. And I was also inspired by Tiffany's son's school project that they created using a fun set from Hero Arts called "Let's Chill". So, combining some elements from both I created a very simple fun card.
Ink: Various Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass; Shabby Shutters; Mustard Seed; Vintage Photo; Antique Linen; Brushed Corduroy); Versafine Onyx Black; Desert Sand Dye Ink (CTMH)
Stamps: Hero Arts
Other: Corner Chomper
My conclusion is that although this card may be considered cute, my watercolouring stinks! I don't have any technique really, I just put some distress ink on my craft sheet, spritzed with water, pick it up with a thin paint brush and paint! That's exactly what Shari does in her technique video here, but hers looks awesome and mine looks blah! Oh well, I will continue trying!
I leave you with this photo of this stunning hot air balloon that passed right over our house around 8am this morning, oh to be this free!

Marvelous, Brenda!Love your painting and the scene reminds me of my holiday in the Caribbean last year (minus the sweet crab though - LOL).
You are way too hard on yourself, Brenda. Your watercoloring looks great! Don't forget, we are our own worst critics. Love your adorable scene inside the frame! Fab photo of the balloon. . .so cool!

This is super fun to combine the two elements, so glad that Jacqueline and I inspired this wonderful card! I love that frame stamp, definitely on my wish list!
Your watercolouring is fabulous, Brenda! It looks so smooth, way better than my first few attempts at pencil colouring. ;) Now, if I had more than two distress inks, I might give water colouring a try! LOL
