A few weeks back I made a cloudy sky as Guest Designer at CASOLOGY and had a little of the sky left. here's my CASOLOGY card.

I used a stamp from Old Island Stamp Co and used a white gell pen to take away a little of the blue wash on the roof.

I hope you like my card and also play along with us.

Jellyfish Birthday wishes

I just purchased a new stamp set by Visible Image called Dare to Swim, I love underwater images so the jellyfish really caught my eye.
I taped my watercolour paper to a cutting mat and masked off the edges, for me this is a little hit or miss because often the water colour seeps under the tape. I painted an ombre  watercolour wash background using my Peerless watercolour book using two blues one darker than the other. I stamped the jellyfish and coloured the hood using a black promarker and added a white line for the reflection.  I used the Altnew halftone stencil with platinium inka gold to add very subtle circles over the watercoloured area.  I added the silhouette fish swimming along the bottom of the card and used a Happy Birthday sentiment from Purple Onion. (I think they may have discontinued this one).  Finally I added some clear sequins to represent bubbles.

I'm entering this for the following challenges
