It's been a while since we've used our watercolours so thought this was a good opportunity to drag them out. I used my Gansai Tambi watercolour palette set as well as my smaller Gansai Tambi Pearl set of 6 gorgeous shimmery pearl colours. The trick to making this look cohesive is to repeat your colours on your images that you've stamped and the best part of all.... don't worry about staying in the lines. Like all watercolouring, if you allow the sections to dry so you are not putting wet against wet, you won't have the bleeding issue that causes the colours to blend too much. So the heat gun is your friend in this class. All you need then is a little quote, an embellishment and you're done!
"Live in colour"...
"The best bugs"...
(the little bugs are stamped onto pre-sanded
shrink plastic, shrunk, then an alcohol pen
was used to add colour on the back of them)
"Dig it"...
"Sparkle"...
"Original style"...
(this one has a chipboard frame mounted
around the edge that has been embossed
with black UTEE, then while hot, a few
sprinkles of gold UTEE, heated again and
then I dragged a pin through the gold while
still hot to move it around a little)
