For the people that know of me this was another experiment. For those of you that don't I constantly experiment trying new things/ideas when I've got time with my DT commitments. This one nearly went horribly wrong BUT I successfully managed to recover it and I'm actually very happy with the result!
The digi I've used here is Poppies from Make It Crafty. As I wanted to do it in water colours I took some of my thinner water colour paper and put it through the laser printer. Well that kind of worked, some of the ink speckled up the card but I knew you wouldn't be able to see it once I'd disguised it with paint.
I tried a new technique on this one and used some masking fluid on the image. I created a kind of fuzzy background that gave the hint of other poppies - fab that turned out well.
Then ooops - as I rubbed the masking fluid off the toner came off with the masking fluid. There was only left a vague hint of the beautiful poppy digi left!!
So I took my iPad and looked up photos of poppies for some inspiration. So then end result may not look exactly like the digi - but it's as near as I could get it.
Keeping the image CAS to showcase my water colouring I just used some back card stock and some black self adhesive gems to finish it off
OK who want to see me make a mess of something else :)

Fabulous effect, so pretty. Thanks for joining in at Crafty Boots Challenges this time.
A stunning card Andrea. Fantastic watercolouring for the background and a very happy accident with the masking fluid, the poppies look absolutely gorgeous without the dark printed lines. Thanks for joining us over at Crafty Cardmakers and more. Sally.x.
Andrea, thanks for giving me a Tuesday giggle. I can just imagine your face as you rubbed away the masking fluid to be left with nothing! It sounds like the sort of thing I would do.
However, you need not have worried because what you have ended up with is just stunning. Absolutely gorgeous and what's more those poppies seem to have real depth as if they are softly floating like paper lace off the page.
Thanks for sharing in my 'no patterned papers' challenge.
