One of the techniques we learnt was to use the watercolour as ink on your stamps.... I tried this with two different Altenew stamps This first one is using Peony Bouquet. I used only one layer of both the flower and leaves
My second card used Beautiful Day stamp set. I used different watercolour paints to stamp the flower and leaves and added some freehand elements
For my third card I used the technique we learnt to use Embossing with our paints. I used the Altenew monthly inspiration colours with the Sweet Peas stamp. Used a bit of watercolour wash around the flowers and of course splatters (a la Erum)
Still a few days homework to do... Did my stencils with a watercolour wash... a bit of a failure there! But will look at what I can do with the background after seeing my friend Betty rescue her not quite successful attempt.
Thanks for stopping by.
