Watercolour Technique with Wink Of Stella!

I'm posting over at the Scrapendipity Way Of Life blog today and wanted to share some of the fun techniques I've been working on in the latest Online Card Classes - Watercolor For Cardmakers class. Jennifer McGuire showcased a beautiful gold embossed flower on Day 1 and I wanted to try it with this bird and flower image I have.

I coloured in parts of my image with Distress and Tombow markers and blended them, using my Wink Of Stella pen. My pen was actually empty and I refilled it with water, which mixed with the shimmer still in the pen and it works perfectly! I layered my watercoloured piece on some papers from the Basic Grey Highline Collection on top of a purple card folded to 5 1/2" square.


This wasn't the greatest watercolor paper I had around, so I think it would have blended nicer with a different paper, but I love the gold embossed image!

P.S. Don't forget there's a lot going on at the Pretty Cute Stamps blog this week - this is Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for the October release. You can head over there to pick up your Freebie Santa Birdie cut file today and see all the wonderful projects the Design Team is featuring!

    Your card is beautiful Karla-- the right water color paper does make a difference, but I certainly can't see anything wrong with your beautiful card, I love it.
