We are off to Lakeville, MA this week to send paper hugs and hopefully lift Dan's spirits.
Dan suffered a spinal cord injury a few months ago and is now recovering with 2 metal rods and 16 screws in his cervical spine. Hopefully he will be back throwing a line in the water soon.
I recently bought a set of Gansai Tambi watercolours and I even lashed out and bought respectable water colour paper, not the stuff I get from the kiddies section of the art shop.
Let me just say, I could learn to become a brain surgeon quicker than I could be taught to water colour.
Plan B . Smooth white cardstock, distress inks, a truckload of water and foam blending tools. I did use the fancy watercolours to paint over the top of the distress inks, but that disappeared as soon as it dried, so the distress inks were used once again. Technically that would make this a watercolour sandwich - I can live with that.
I used a sponge dauber and black distress ink to stencil on the leaves. Adhered the silhouette die using a glue stick, and popped some foam tape behind the fisherman to pop him up a bit.
More often than not, I don't add sentiments but the card looked very unbalanced and needed something. I found this terrific sentiment, so I stamped it with versafine ink, sprinkled on some white EP, hit it with the heat gun, over cooked it....repeated two more times until I got it right LOL.
Thank you for looking and I hope you get a chance to join in.
