Hi again!
I'm back tonight with another card using a lesson from day #10 of Watercolor For Card Makers.
I chose to give Tasnim's technique a try. She created some fabulous firework flowers that were so cool looking! I decided to create mine a bit different by making them a little taller, less round, adding some leaves at the base of the flowers and also stems.
I think they turned out fun and whimsical, don't you? I could definitely use more practice, especially on the leaves but I loved learning how to use the brush in a new way - turning it as I swiped the paint to create each flower petal. The sentiment is from the Hello Sunshine Daisies set by Hero Arts.
Short and sweet tonight - trying to get to bed earlier. We've got our good friend, Greg, coming to stay with us for a week or so starting tomorrow. It's always so fun to see him! He's my hubby's best buddy, he was in our wedding and he makes us all laugh! Can't wait!
Hope you all have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by! ♥
Hello!
I'm here once again, very late at night, but I wanted to share my cards from days 8 and 9 for the Watercolor For Card Makers class.
On day 8, Tasnim shared a video using a technique where you stamp an image with a soft ink color, then add your watercoloring. Here's my take:
It's a tiny card measuring only 2 3/4 by 3 1/2 inches. I am loving these smaller sized cards, especially when using watercoloring - it's a lot less intimidating! I used a pretty stamp from a set called Night and Day Flowers by Hero Arts.
The lesson on day 9 was scary at first! It was Freehand Watercoloring! No stamping involved. Just the paints, a brush and my own hand. I didn't think I could do it but Jennifer Rzasa showed a technique with water and splattering to create a colorful tree, and after watching her video I thought maybe I could do it after all.
This was my second try. I went a bit too far on my first one, not knowing (or wanting) to stop the splatters. :) I really like the way this turned out and it was so fun! I thought the sentiment from the Color and Sunshine set by Simon Says Stamp was perfect for my tree.
That's it for me. As always, thanks for coming by - I really appreciate it! Night. . . . ♥
