Water Color Technique using Quiet Meadow Bundle

Hello Crafters! 

I had a fun weekend at the scrap retreat I host each March. I'll have another in September if you're interested in joining me. During this last retreat I held a card class focused on color/ink techniques. I don't water color very often, but when I do I forget how fun and easy it can be to dress up a card. 

I have been having so much fun creating with the Quiet Meadow Bundle, I decided to used it again on this card. 

Give This water coloring a try. I simply added a few dots of ink to a tray (other side of the stamp pads work great), dabbed my water color painter in the color and painted it on the paper. The water color paper works really well when using a lot of water. It does not take very long to dry, but you do need to let it dry before applying to your card.

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop - March 2022 Color Challenge

 

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 

Today features a Color Challenge using Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron and Blushing Bride.  

I've been playing with water painting to prepare for a class I'm holding at craft retreat. I decided to use this colors with reink drops and water painters on Watercolor paper. 

I didn't like how light the Flirty Flamingo was 'painting on' so I added a few ink drops directly to the paper, which is why you have some splotchy spots. Not what I was looking for, but I decided to work with it. 

Just stamp the flower outline directly onto the water colors and die cut them out. The splotches no longer really matter. The Hand Penned paper has the perfect coordinating pattern and color for the challenge. The card has such a happy look to it, I selected the happy Birthday sentiment from the Celebrating you stamp set.
