Hi there crafty friends, today our hop features techniques for water colouring. I'll be honest, back in my school days I was more of a fan of oils than watercolours; but I still dabble with a bit of water colouring here and there with cards when the mood takes me.
Today I thought I would try the "no line" technique, I really like projects I've seen, so here's what I managed to do:
I stamped the top of image from the Full of Love stamp set (I didn't ink up the envelope in the image) in Sahara Sand multiple times, my ink application was a little uneven - maybe a little too dark in places when I review the finished project, and I think it may also have been easier if I had chosen an image with larger flowers for my first attempt too - all food for thought when I use this technique again in the future.
I coloured the flowers using Polished Pink, Highland Heather, Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue, adding some splatters of Sahara Sand & Balmy Blue after the floral images had dried. I Cut a mid size circle from Stylish Shapes for the sentiment and to cover the "overlapped stamping".
For more water colour projects continue through the blog hop:
