I water coloured onto Watercolour Card following Andrea Kidman's Video and using blue, green and yellow paints, drying in between each additional colour with my Heat Gun so I didn't muddied them. Then I stamped the image with Stazon Black and bleached the turtle and some of the bubbles, I applied the bleach a number of times but found on the Watercolour card it was harder to remove the ink and gave a much softer look. The outline faded when I bleached the image of the turtle so I used a dark grey pencil to give the image some more definition. I stamped the sentiment, applied the epoxy clear shapes and finished my card.

How cute is that turtle! I love the look of the watercolour so he's swimming... Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card Sue! I LOVE your watercoloured background with the awesome turtle image. I think bleaching is harder to remove on w/c paper, but it also may have something to do with heat setting your colours for the background. Not sure, but the turtle looks awesome with the light colours left from bleaching. The texture from your bubbly dry embossing is perfect to go with this image! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bleached turtle swimming amongst the bubbles both stamped and embossed! xx
ReplyDeletefun card with all the texture and colour elements. Love it :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful turtle card, Susan!
ReplyDeleteLove how you watercolored the background. The epoxy clear shapes are associated with bubbles, and add so much interest to the card.
