Let's Celebrate

Using watercolor as a medium will aways yield a unique card. No matter what pigments and paper you choose to use, water is the key to originality. Its fluid state allows for the colors to appear transparent or concentrated. I used Brusho powder on the following card. 

Stamps:

   Amazing You

Paper:

   Tranquil Tide A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4

   Glossy White 5 x 3-3/4, Scraps

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Brusho Crystal Colour:

   Moss Green

   Yellow

   Gamboge

   Prussian Blue

   Brilliant Red

Technique:

   Watercolor

Accessories:

   Water Mister

   Dimensionals

   Clear Faceted Gems

   Adhesive

   Paper Snips

I first slightly misted my glossy white panel. 

I then began to sprinkle Brusho powder onto the surface. Only one or two colors at a time. I did my best to not place colors on top of each other. I sprayed more water, tilting my paper and dabbing with a paper towel if needed.

I made a couple of panels at the same time. Sprinkling brusho powder, spraying with water, tilting the paper, and dabbing with a paper towel, until I was happy with the result.

I then set these aside to dry. The color may change a bit after it dries.

I then stamped directly onto the panel using Archival Basic Black ink. I stamped flowers on the other panel and fussy cut one of them. I attached it using dimensionals to make one of the flowers pop.

I added the clear faceted gems and adhered the glossy panel onto the Basic Black and then onto the Tranquil Tide card base.
