Once I start water coloring I see stamps in a different light. So bear with me this might last a few days!! And on this card Less is More......the Image is colored on Shimmery White card stock and matted on Pumpkin Pie and Early Expresso. The card base is Pear Pizazz embossed 3/4 of the way with the Square Lattice Embossing folder. The Sentiment is stamped in Early Expresso ink on the
un-embossed portion of the card base. This embossing folder reminds me of fields and quilting, perfect for a backdrop of this farm stead image.
I used the ink pad lids as my coloring medium. Squish the ink pad, open and wa la you have ink in the lid! Our water coloring brushes are the best. This technique is all about a light touch. Hold the brush lightly to allow only a bit of water to soak the brush. Too Much water = a wet mess!! Color light colors first and shade in the darker colors. The image is popped up on the card front. A little piece of Art work colored by YOU!!!
