Let's Celebrate

Using watercolor as a medium will aways yield a unique card. No matter what pigments and paper you choose to use, water is the key to originality. Its fluid state allows for the colors to appear transparent or concentrated. I used Brusho powder on the following card. 




Stamps:
   Amazing You

Paper:
   Tranquil Tide A-2
   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4
   Glossy White 5 x 3-3/4, Scraps

Ink:
   Archival Basic Black

Brusho Crystal Colour:
   Moss Green
   Yellow
   Gamboge
   Prussian Blue
   Brilliant Red

Technique:
   Watercolor

Accessories:
   Water Mister
   Dimensionals
   Clear Faceted Gems
   Adhesive
   Paper Snips

I first slightly misted my glossy white panel. 

I then began to sprinkle Brusho powder onto the surface. Only one or two colors at a time. I did my best to not place colors on top of each other. I sprayed more water, tilting my paper and dabbing with a paper towel if needed.

I made a couple of panels at the same time. Sprinkling brusho powder, spraying with water, tilting the paper, and dabbing with a paper towel, until I was happy with the result.

I then set these aside to dry. The color may change a bit after it dries.

I then stamped directly onto the panel using Archival Basic Black ink. I stamped flowers on the other panel and fussy cut one of them. I attached it using dimensionals to make one of the flowers pop.

I added the clear faceted gems and adhered the glossy panel onto the Basic Black and then onto the Tranquil Tide card base.

  2. Thank you Ladies! I am happy with this one too. I am sure I would not be able to recreate it. I might get close, but usually the watercolor panels are one of a kind.
