Yes! It's another blog hop :) I love doing these. I stay motivated and get to see lots of cool things that everyone else does too! I did a watercolor wash technique...which is super easy!!! Seriously...almost fail proof.
Oh so pretty! For my background I used Highland Heather, Magenta Madness, and Night of Navy. I do think on my sample, I did use Gorgeous Grape but both look amazing! For this technique you definitely have to use our FLUID 100 WATERCOLOR PAPER. This paper is thick. And I know, I have used other watercolor paper, and this is the best. It doesn't curl up and is very sturdy when wet.
A couple things to note, you will start with a whole wash over the whole piece of paper. Then add your color. I like to do lightest to darkest but to each their own. Check out my YouTube video below!
I hope you enjoyed that video to show you how easy this technique is. Don't forget to subscribe to see other videos and get notifications for when I add videos!
Here is another card using the wash technique. Instead of adding colors all over, I just added it to the bottom, then the middle, and the top. Super duper easy! Then I stamped in StazOn Black right over the top of the amazing hues.
If my 9 year old niece Lilly can do watercoloring, you can too. I need to have her send me a picture of her finished cards cause these hearts she's doing turned out amazing!
SOME ITEMS used not listed for the first card are: Floating and Fluttering Stamp Set with Dies and Heal Your Heart which is a FREE SAB STAMP SET ($50 order)
Stunning! I love how vibrant the colors are for the background.
