Hi all. I hope you have been enjoying your week.
I decided to bring out my watercolours again. I have a little tippy-tip for new watercolour peeps out there: use a heavy cold press paper. Last time I used a 90 lb paper and I found it buckled with the water A LOT (and I tried all the tricks out there to flatten it afterwards) this time I used 140 lb paper and it curved a smidge, but nothing anyone would notice. HUGE difference =)
I painted, splashed and splooshed. Stamped, tied, and fussy-cutted.
And came up with this shaker card =)
Card Ingredients:
Stamps: Rubber Stampede Contemporary Anniversary sentiment, Wplus9 Love Birds
Inks: Memento Bamboo Leaves, Artist's Loft Watercolor Pan paints
Cardstock: Strathmore Watercolor 140 lbs
Bits/Bobs: Lawn Fawn sequins, We R Memory Makers bakers twine
Tools: Wplus9 Love Birds die, EK Success Corner punch, Oval Nestie
I created this card for the following challenges:
Color Throwdown
Seize the Sketch
Enjoy the rest of your week and have a super great weekend! Cheers!!
