SOME WATERCOLOUR FUN - Cynthia Stevenson, Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Hi and welcome. I tried something that I haven’t done is a very long time.

I pulled out the Water Painters(168253 yes, they’re back) and coloured these flowers from the Gallery Blooms Bundle(165213).

When watercolouring it is best to use the Fluid 100 watercolour paper(149612) and stamp the image with the Jet Black Stazon ink. This ink is alcohol based and the best to use when watercolouring. The Tuxedo Memento is water-based and works only with the Stampin’ Blends which are alcohol inks.

I’m playing along with The Paper Players challenge which is to keep your watercolour project clean and simple.

I do have a problem leaving the card base blank so out came the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder to add some texture.

Here’s the list of products used.

Very pretty watercolouring, Cynthia. The Petunia Pop behind the blooms really highlights them. Thanks for joining in with my CAS Watercolour challenge at The Paper Players.

Cynthia, the colors you used are very vibrant and eye-catching against the white card base. The watercolored florals are simply beautiful as well! Thank you so much for joining in with the Paper Players!
