Wet on Wet Holiday Night Sky ~ annsforte3 ~ Monday, Dec 5, 2022
Challenge Title: Wet on Wet Holiday Night Sky Hostess: annsforte3 aka Ann Keyword: FF22annsforte3 Date: Monday, December 5, 2022
Welcome to Falliday Fest 2022 and happy Monday to you!!
My challenge is to do the wet on wet water color technique for a background night sky. If you do not have water colors use what you have!
To begin wet your water colors and your paper. The paper should be nice and shinny but not have the water running off the paper. Choose your night sky colors! Take your brush and stir up the color, then glide it across your water color paper, be free with your strokes and let the color run. Continue with whatever other colors you desire. Do not mix the colors on the paper, instead let the colors flow and move on their own!
Let dry. If you are not happy with the boldness of the colors do add an additional layer of color.
When dry, add splatters of lighter colors for stars, use white, yellow or gold or a combination of all three. Let dry and add a holiday sentiment and decorations!

I actually did 2 cards for this one. I wasn't sure if a galaxy-type background would be considered a holiday sky, so I did another with more of a Northern lights vibe.
