Make It Monday #161 Watercolor Splats Technique
After watching the video provided, I decided to try this technique as it looked like it maybe fun.

It seamed pretty simple, but the card that I am posting is not my first attempt. So play a little with papers and colors and see what works for you. This card is very CAS, something that I do not often do, but I wanted to show the technique off and not clutter up the card. See what you think.
I used my In Bloom Impression plate first on 120# CS. Then I sponged with Distress Olive ink. Just one color as I wanted the impression to show. Believe me, I tried many colors and I felt that less was best. Next the watercolor technique as shown in the video above. I just adhered that to a black piece and used brads in the corners. That whole piece is placed on the white base with foam tape. Then the work HELLO was cut out and I added Wink of Stella to that. That's it!
I am entering this card in the Paper Trey Ink Challenge #161
Thanks for stopping and I hope that you give this a try.

The depth and dimension of this one colored card is absolutely amazing...well done! :0)
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara! That just looks fantastic. Great idea to put the color onto an impressed cardstock, this makes the mpressed part stand out a lot more!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! Beautiful colors, really lovely background! Oh we really should be neighbors like-the-right-next-door-kind-walk-in-the-backdoor-kind-without-knocking-kind, as I was working in this technique yesterday too! :) Must work, but will finish them later this week! ;)
ReplyDeleteWOW, this is so pretty! Love the pretty colors & fabulous design.
