I am still playing with the watercolour techniques. For this one I wet the watercolour paper and then applied three different distress stains. Then I sprayed some water and sprinkled with salt. The salt was too fine and didn't really turn out how it was supposed to but I kind of like it - but my son did the same technique on a project and it was way nicer!! Then I stamped with a Penny Black stamp and distress ink and water coloured the flower. Decided not to put a sentiment on it - something I never do but I didn't want to add anymore "stuff" to the front.
My father in law turned 80 yesterday and his favourite pastime is watching sports on TV. Therefore this card is very appropriate. Used the TV shaker die from Simon Says Stamps and used MFT numbers to inlay the backing for the TV. Was very fun to make. Hero Arts sentiment and some beads I have had forever.
Have been working on the watercolour class. Heat embossed the lattice background and then water coloured it with my new watercolours. Really like how it turned out and was fun and quick to make.
I tried this technique which was quite fun. I watercoloured the background then used stencils and white ink with daubers to create the "lights". Heat embossed the sentiment on vellum in liquid platinum ranger embossing powder and sewed it on as difficult to attach the vellum without it showing. The sentiment looks crooked here but it isn't for a change....
