Thank you Julia for a great WT challenge today! I couldn't get any more original than using Stickles on my dp. but I do like the effect, and will probably do it again!
I stamped my Big Lou Pirahna fish and seaweed onto wc paper and then I painted Masking Fluid over the fish and the seaweed. I also filled my brush with the fluid and tapped it to get a splatter of the stuff over the whole page. I wanted to have the look of bubbles in the water later, and I knew that would do it. The masking fluid dries to a plastic like film. I was able to do a watercolor wash, wet into wet overtop without getting the paint onto the images. When the blue wash was dry, I peeled the masks off the fish and seaweed and then painted them. For the light wave reflections in the water, I used a small wc brush that I dampened with water and removed some of the color using gentle strokes followed by dabbing with tissue.
I used Stickles on the dp to give it that added sparkle. The saying panel and two of the balloons are popped up on foam tape.
All stamps by High Hopes stamps. TFL!
