Mask! Masking is a technique I use often... it's fun and easy and helps create a multilayered look to a project. For this project I used this negative centered card in Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White. I applied a sticky-note and then because it's thin I traced the negative/white area with a pencil. Using my SNIPS (no better scissors #103579) to remove the area. Leaving the sticky note to cover the colored area I stamped these Petite Petals image with Stazon Jet Black ink.*
You can see how Masking will keep the stamped images inside the area I decide leaving a clean look. I then water colored the images and removed the sticky note to reveal the beauty I created.
*Stazon is a permanent ink and ideal for watercoloring. Most of our inks are water-based and can bleed when they are used for the outline of a watercolored project. Stazon does not.
WATER-Coloring.. sigh... so dreamy! It is a fabulous way to create a ton of color!
Starting with the Stazon stamped image I then squished the lid, while closed, into the ink pad. This creates a smudge of ink that is like a palate of ink to use. Doing this with both the Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango inks I am ready to go!
Coloring the lightest color in the center and working my way out, the Aqua Painter has water in the base and is pre-loaded for a great application. You don't need it dripping just damp!
Blending in the edges with the Tangerine Tango ink and Aqua Painter this is a great way to control the color blend!
Accent with curled leaves!! Simply Punch the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper with the Petite Petals punch. Using my thumb and the Bone Folder I curl the edges. Make sure to mix the lighter and darker punched images for a blended look!
Laying them out with out the Glue Dots allows me to have a visual and move them about.. better for those who are more 'A' Type... you know who you are (Carol, Ashley, Christine??) lol...
I thought they needed a centering.. so the Brights Candy Dots ROCK! Simply apply these adhesive backed colored 'dots' that look a lot like old-fashioned candy dots!
