Water-coloring TWO ways with video tutorial!

In August our Flowerbug's Team had our usual card swap – this time we featured either Sale-a-Bration or Holiday catalog products.  I chose to use both!  

I created this card for a few reasons; I wanted to use the Aspen dies (LOVE THEM) and also wanted to create a water-colored background.   What do you think?  

Perched in a Tree WC swap Save

I chose to use Orchid Oasis as my card base and added Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and a bit of Tahitian Tide in the water-color wash at the bottom. 

Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.  It's super simple and hard to mess up!  Honest!  

Tips for a successful water color wash:

  • Wet the water before adding ink.  This is super important!  The ink will spread so much easier and without lines if the paper is wet. 
  • I used our Water Painters – but a paintbrush also works. 
  • Use a heavy paper such as watercolor paper, Thick White or Vanilla or Shimmer paper. Here I used our Silver & Gold DSP from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It worked but thicker paper is easier and has less chance of the paper fibers lifting. 
  • Let the paper dry between layers if you want a definite line between colors – like this sunset & water combo.  

Other details:

  • I stamped the bird in Orchid Oasis and colored him in with our watercolor pencils and a blender pen.  
  • The greeting is from the Perched in a Tree stamp set – it's in a bundle with the Aspen dies I used here. 
  • The greeting die-cut is from the All That dies. 

The Aspen dies are available in three ways – in the Bundle at a 10% discount, separately from the Perched in a Tree stamp set or free during August & our Sale-a-Bration promotion. 

*Best buy: purchase the Perched in a Tree bundle in August and choose a $50 Sale-a-Bration choice for free!  See them all here.
