Watercolour card

Carry love and kindness with you

 

The first thing I started with was my distress ink, I use peacock feathers for the top and worn lipstick for the bottom half. I started to apply the ink directly to the page but it was to hard to apply, this is thick 300g watercolour paper.  I then decided to gesso over the ink and apply the ink again.  Works great, blends perfectly.

   

There the ink is already applied, and I stamped using some seedless preserves and salty ocean distress ink to bring out the colours.  I added stars to the background using white gesso and a stencil I have made with my Brother scan n Cut.

 

I found some left over pattern paper that I wanted to use and drew a watering can on it.

 

I cut it out and use my purple gelatos to go over the edges for shading.

 Here I traced around the edges with a pencil to get an idea of there it would be placed and just shaded with pink gelato to make a nice border.            

I drew some flower shapes on left over cardstock and coloured them with gelats, and gave it a thin coat of pink metalic paint, in the middle I used some Faber Castell Glass bead glitter gel for a special touch.

      

 Stick it all down 

  Played with some stencils and Texture past.

 

  Finished the words with a black and white marker and my white marker went spat on the page, luckily I could still save it, but then used the scooped up ink from the marker to make the white splats.  I liked it.

 

Hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have, I will put a quick video of the end result up shortly, just so you can see the pretty shine of the glass bead and glitter gel... (love this stuff)

Trying out some new varnish spray on distress inks, locked in the ink beautifully and was able to touch it and play with it after the spray. Posted a quick video on YouTube If you wanna check that out.

The rest is some paper placing again and some coloring in water paper with my fave distress inks.

Hope you enjoyed!
