OCC Watercolor Day 1 Take 3

The 3rd technique we learned on Day 1 of Online Card Classes Watercolor class was how to use your acrylic blocks and distress ink to create a background. I struggled a lot with this one - I had a hard time getting my colors to blend together and not leave distinct lines between them.....

I made two versions. The second one has some splatters of glimmer mist added.

For both cards I used distress ink and a My Favorite Things stamp. The thanks die is from Simon Says Stamp and the Hello die is from WPlus9.

Thanks for stopping by!

OCC Watercolor Day 1 Take 2

The second technique we were shown on day 1 of Online Card Classes Watercolor class was how to use watercolors with your background stamps. I made two attempts at this, exactly the same except I used watercolors to paint one and distress inks to paint the other.

The first one is the distress ink card.

And this is the watercolored one.

Both cards are made with an Impression Obsession Cover a card background, a Simon Says Stamp die and a Martha Stewart balloon punch.
