Hello Friends,
It's time for a reminder to let you know that you have until the 24th January to join us for this month's Loose Watercolour Technique.
I went with Jennifer McGuire's technique's and started by using my Misti stamping the Nasturtium stamp with Stazon Black, left the stamp in place and cleaned it. Then I coloured direct onto the stamp with Distress Ink Markers, spritzed the watercolour card and the stamp and then stamped the image. I managed to get a little wash of colour from the stamping but the excess water muddied a little so I moped up the extra water, the colour wash was very light. I then used my Aqua Painter applying watered down ink onto the stamped image. The Happy die cut was coloured with Mowed Lawn distress ink onto white card and then stacked three times for some dimension. The Birthday sentiment was White Embossed onto Black card, then I added some Sequins and stamped and coloured a smaller version of the front image to the inside of my card.
Thanks for your visit today, I appreciate you stopping by.
Hugs,
