Inspiration: Treat Cart Create With Us
This is the two projects I created following the Create With Us class from Lawn Fawn shared online. I had prepared and cut the supplies on the previous Friday and I was all ready to follow along with the class that evening, until I realized I was one week to early. So I put the supplies aside and then the next week, I was asked to babysit my nieces, so I couldn't follow along with the live class. Thankfully, they are recorded, so I was able to put the projects later. And it worked out, because I was reminded that I'm not a quick crafter, so I paused the video a few times to take my time and catch up.
The watercolour sky went well because I had done that technique before, but the drips did not work well the first time around. I only have one pack of Distress watercolour (so not the whole range), which is why I initially pulled out my old Watercolor Wonder crayons from Stampin' Up! and while the drip technique worked, the colours looked a little washed out to my liking. The paper around the crayons had also started to flake and it left a nasty black mark on my watercolour paper. So I decided to turn the paper around and try the technique again on the backside, using the Distress watercolour pencils in whatever colour I had available. Hence, my colour gradient is a little different from the one shown in the class, but I do like the result, and I was happy to learn a new technique. I had coloured all of the images from the set, so I included a couple of extras in my design to use them up.
