Mixed Media Card Challenge
Today is the first of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, so this months Mixed Media Card Challenge Spring theme with optional bird, brings a whole lotta Spring colours. I wanted to try and get a little messy this month, so got creating using Gelato watercolours and salt for the background (spread rock salt over the watercolour background to concentrate the colour where the rock salt crystals are resting as it dries), together with Gelato watercolours for this gorgeous Neat & Tangled songbird. Paired with the Avery Elle sentiment.
There's some more fabulous inspiration from the design team over on
Looking forward to seeing your fabulous SPRING creations!
