Hey friends!! I have been a busy little crafter the last few days! I have managed to make three cards and two of them involved watercoloring with my Zig Clean Color markers. One of those card was is for the current MFT Wednesday sketch challenge and I will be posting here. I will also be posting this to the Camp Create 2 Fabulous Foiling challenge, as well as Kathy's 30 day coloring challenge. I started my card by stamping one of the poppy images from Delicate Pretty Poppies multiple times on some Ranger watercolor paper using VersaFine Vintage Sepia ink. I then filled in some of the gaps with the little leaves from the same set also stamping in Vintage Sepia. My mini MISTI helped me get good impressions on the watercolor paper. I then colored all the images using the following colors: light carmine red, carmine red, bright yellow, yellow and may green and a number 2 watercolor brush. After some trial and error I have found a way to watercolor that works well for me and allows me to achieve the look I want. Once all the images were colored I colored around them using light grey. I also stamped another poppy and leaves on some scrap watercolor paper and colored them up. Once they were done they were die cut with the matching dies. I die cut my panel using the second largest MFT Inside Out Stitched Rectangle die. The "hello" (also from MFT) was die cut from black cardstock and then using a foiling glue pen (pursuant to a technique that I saw Kimberly demonstrate on the MFT blog) I applied the glue to the lower half of the word, allowed it to dry for a minute and then applied the foil. The foiling isn't perfect, but I do like how it turned out. I die cut a few more of the hellos and then stacked them all for some additional dimension. The sentiment is from the MFT set Amazing and was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black and my mini MISTI. I adhered the watercolored panel to a panel of light grey cardstock, added the die cut flower and leaves to finish things off. I'm adding this to the current Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge: floral and fauna.
