This months Dirty Dozen/ Dirty Dozen Alumni challenge was an H2O theme.
Challenge Focus: Create a project that has something to do with water, it can be in your stamps, paper, or embellishments. But lets celebrate the happiness of warm weather and refreshing water. Let us know the story behind it too!
Required Element: Watercoloring! If we're doing a water themed project there needs to be some element of watercoloring on your creation.
Restricted Element: If it's H2O that means the two in the equation restricts you to only two embellishments. For example, ribbon and piercing, primas and brads. Focal image shapes like nesties or sizzix die cuts don't count. Let's see how creative you can be with just 2 embellishments girls!
I am not a water colourer, but I wanted to play so I pretended to be a water colourer!
This stamp is from Unity Stamp Co. Beach Days and Sun Rays stamp set.
I watercoloured the fish on the left with Tombow markers and water. The fish on the right was painted with a very old set of Stargazer's Pearlescent and Metallic watercolors. I just softened them up a bit with a couple of spritz's of water about 5 minutes before I started painting as per Debbie Olsen.
