2019 is here and I'm really going to make an effort to get my AECP finish.... so off to a good start. I took my inspiration today from Creative Watercolor Media... a class tutored by Jennifer Rzasa, Debby Hughes and Laura Bassen. It's all about using Altenew sprays, reinkers and ink pads as a watercolour medium. This is a super fun class that really encourage you to make the most of your Altenew supplies. I don't have any Altenew sprays or reinkers but have a LOT of their cube ink pads. 22 sets of 4 colours! And boy are these inks PERFECT for watercolouring....
I started with some Brockingford Cold Press 200gm watercolour paper and using my new Ruffled Flowers stamps and some Gold embossing powder I stamped the two outline stamps several times around my card. I then smooshed the ink pads on to my small Altenew palette to make the "paint" I used Hydrangea and Ultraviolet for the flowers and Green Field for the leaves. I then took Vanilla ream and added a wash all over the card. The sentiment is from More than Words stamp set. Finished with a few Nuvo drop pearl dots. I mounted onto a purple panel which is attached to my white card base.
I really enjoyed using this technique and use it a lot to colour (paint) my stamps.
I really am enjoying the latest goodies that arrived on Monday from Altenew. A few more cards are in progress.
Thanks for stopping by.
