Good Morning Saturday Crafty Peeps!
Today I have a watercolor card and a quick tutorial on how I did it.
Today's supplies include:
Staedtler Watercolor crayons
Faber-Castell Gelatos
Watercolor paper
Black cardstock
Watercolor brush
Tim Holtz Die
Sentiment
I started by making puddles... honestly I started with no intention or expectation whatsoever and I just painted watercolor puddles making sharp edges with darker paint. It was quite fun..
I created a wet surface to start using my watercolor brush and water. I chose my favorite colors and what was most pleasing to my eye. I wet my watercolor brush and painted my brush with the crayon before applying to my paper. I used my Gelatos for the bright pinks.
I let the entire piece dry and cut it into triangles.
I used DecoArt Media Matte Medium to adhere my pieces to a black piece of cardstock.
Next I used Liquid Glass on top of each triangle and let it dry completely.
I ran this through my Tim Holtz Die tattered florals.
Now I have the positive and negative of this piece.
I placed my sentiment in the white space and whalla a card was born!
The inside sentiment reads : It would have been significantly easier to
wish you a happy birthday if you were on Facebook.
