watercolor moments


A watercolor scene using the Mountain Air stamp set on watercolor paper. This is a simple and forgiving technique. Ink the mountains in Lost Lagoon and spritz before stamping three times in layers. Then inked the trees in Mossy Meadow and spritzed, stamping two or three times before reinking. Then inked the bottom trees in Mossy Meadow and stamped without spritzing. Sentiment not SU. 

For this watercolor effect, I inked crumpled saran wrap in Azure Afternoon and Mint Macaroon, spritzed with water then stamped randomly on paper. Then stamped Distress Oxide ink Peacock Feathers onto acetate, spritzed, then inked trees and stamped randomly. Added gilded leafing in various spots with glue.

Z Fold Tri Fold Cherries

 


A fun z fold card for an up coming card workshop. This sweetest cherries stamp set has a matching punch. I used the Artistic Mix stencils for the backgrounds (except for the DSP on the very front flap). For the card base, score at 4 1/2" and fold in half, and score 2 1/4" and fold like an accordion.
