WATER PAINT IT..DT

 Hello everyone,

The week has flown by and it is time again for Little Red Wagon

 challenge and this week I'm your hostess and my theme is - Water paint it..

Water painting is easy, you don't need to think, you put some paint down and add water, easier than making scones...in my world it is, I'm not a scone maker at all..

I'll show you what I have been playing with..













All these critters and plants were painted with water paints..
Nothing was neat and tidy, just paint and add water..



for my project I used this new die set with these adorable little mice..


paint with a little water to start it off..


add water..see, blotchy and shaded all the same time.
if it gets too dark in some places just add a little water and blot gently..


and little gems for eyes..


inside the card..


little mice getting into their places..no pushing please, one at a time.


A birthday die cut sentiment and done..

so do come and play HERE


Oh, dear, I should be scrapbooking and all I want to do now is water paint, good old messy water painting..

thank you so much for stopping by
I'll catch up again soon..

luv CHRISSYxx

You do make the water colouring/painting look so easy Chrissy, going to have to give it another go, my efforts don't look anywhere as good as yours, maybe I need to relax more and go with the flow! Your cheeky little mice look so cute peeking out of the holes.

So love all of your painted dies and I especially love your attitude towards watercolor too! I always feel a bit anxious about it, but you're right about letting it do it's own thing and not worry! Your card is super cute with the peeking mice! Well done!
