Papertrey Ink August Blog Hop & CAS(E) This Sketch #187

As is my habit on the 25th of each month, I'm playing along
with the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.

This month, our challenge was to be inspired by this photo:

Isn't it cool?

I decided to make my card for the challenge using

 CAS(E) This Sketch #187 designed by Chrissy Larson:

Here's my card:

I started by watercoloring my background using my watercolour paints.

I had fun mixing colours to get the right shades, blending them onto 

my watercolour panel and adding water to give them more of a watercolour look.

Once it was dry, I flicked water onto my page and added gold 

embossing powder and heat embossed the droplets.

I diecut the paintbrushes from PTI's Masterpiece kit

and stamped them using the coordinating stamps in versafine onyx black

and heat embossed them in clear.

Instead of stamping the ends, I dipped them into the watercolour paint on my palette.

I stamped the sentiment (also from Masterpiece) onto vellum

and heat embossed it in clear.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see the rest of the DT's takes on the sketch 

and to play along, if you'd like.

You have until Thursday, September 22nd to link up your card.

Thanks for looking!
