Technique of the Week- Watercoloring




Watercoloring
Give your cards a watercolor look using line stamps and watercolors:


Here is how to do it:
A] Dip the tip of a blender pen on to the corner of a Stampin' Pastel, then apply to the stamped image.
OR
B] Brush the tip of a blender pen, Aqua Painter, or wet watercolor brush directly on the tip of a Watercolor Wonder crayon, then apply color to the stamped image.
OR
C] Outline a section of the stamped image with a Watercolor Wonder Crayon or Watercolor Pencil, then use a blender pen, Aqua Painter, or wet watercolor brush to pull color where desired.
OR
D] Press the closed lid of a Classic Stampin' Pad down against the ink pad, creating a small pool of color in the lid; then open the lid. Use a blender pen, an Aqua Painter, or a damp watercolor brush to lift the ink from the lid and apply to the stamped image.



QUICK TIP--For more saturated colors, watercolor with Classic ink refills.
