I'm so excited to be taking the online watercolor class taught by a number of ultra talented stampers! Day 1 was all about backgrounds and this card features the use of distress inks based on the technique taught by Laura Bassen. I used 3 Tim Holtz distress ink pads: Spiced Marmalade, Peacock Feathers and Picked Raspberry to created the color wash. I can see where watercoloring is going to take LOTS of practice for me! There were several "epic fails" before this one was considered eligible for posting - lol! I didn't want to cover up much of the background, so used a single feather that was white embossed on vellum and adhered to the card using clear Kool Tak Foam which doesn't show through the vellum. A "hello" die cut sentiment by Memory Box and a trio of Lemonade Blend sequins by Avery Elle finished it off.
STAMPS: Fine Feathers by Waltzingmouse Stamps.
PAPER: Melon Mambo, Black, Tim Holtz watercolor CS by Ranger.
