Happy New Year! This card was made for today's Ways To Use It Challenge: Ring in the New Year. Participants were to incorporate something SILVER into their design. I used silver BRADS and a silver butterfly!
This image is a full image! I CUT it apart! (Today my hands are killing me. There was NO WAY I could watercolor the "fawn" and stay in the lines....)So...I seperated the deer from the background to make water coloring easier.
I stamped the deer onto watercolor paper with Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink. This ink is fast drying and WATERPROOF! Next, I colored in the body with Stampin' Up! markers. I used an aqua painter to blend the colors. I quick dried the image with a heat tool and added the dots onto the deer's back, turning it into a fawn! (I used an Inkssentials pen.) Then, I outlined them with a marker. I added the white under the neck, too.
The stream and bank were stamped onto a different piece of watercolor paper. I used SU! markers and an aqua painter to blend that area.
The sun and sky was down by sponging in the areas with daubers.

Love this. Your coloring is awesome, even w/ sore hands. I'm so sorry to hear that. Anyway, you've created a beautiful scene. Love those brads. HAPPY NEW YEAR
