We are continuing with our Creatively Simple Watercolor Challenge again this week!
SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE
So far, I’ve done three different watercoloring techniques for this monthly theme…make sure to check out the past two Tuesday Creatively Simple cards if you missed them. This time I used reinkers with a sheet of Acetate and Watercolor Paper!
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Calypso Coral cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Old Olive cardstock was added on top.
- To make the background, I place 2-3 drops of Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green reinkers on a sheet of Acetate (use the piece that comes with new stamps!) and spritzed water on them. Then placed the 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Watercolor Paper face down quickly onto the wet acetate to pick up the color. Let dry and then add it to the front at a slight angle.
- A drop of Memento Black Ink was placed on the acetate and water added, then flicked speckles on the front with the Water Painter.
- A 3/4 x 2-3/4 piece of Celebratory Sips Designer Paper was added to the front with a 1/4 x 2-1/2 piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock under it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some White Baker’s Twine was wrapped in a circle a couple times and added to the DSP with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
- Thanks was stamped on a 1/2 x 1-1/2 piece of Basic White cardstock and cut at an angle and placed over the Baker’s Twine.
