AWOW Blog Hop - Technique Challenge

 

Welcome to this month's Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! Each month, a group of  demonstrators from all over the world create projects based on that month's theme. You will be able to hop around below to see all the wonderful inspiration!

This month, the theme is a Technique Challenge of our choice, focusing on a technique new to us or one that we haven't used in a long time. I chose to try something brand new to me! 

I decided to try my hand at free-handing a watercolour scene, using Stampin' Up!'s Water Painters, Watercolor Paper and Ink Refills! Although I can see that it could use some improvement, I was quite happy with my first attempt!

I started with half a sheet of our Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper (3 1/2" x 5") and wet the top half with plain water. I put some ink on acrylic blocks. I then used the wide-brushed Water Painter to swish some Balmy Blue ink across the top and a couple of swooshes in the snow at the bottom. I used Blueberry Bushel to paint some mountains. I then used Night of Navy and the small brush to paint the trees.

I added some white to the mountains and trees with Dr Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White paint but I think you could use some of our White Craft Ink instead. I also splattered a little Wink of Stella all over for some glitter.

The sentiment, from the Peaceful Season Stamp Set was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in white. It was cut with a Stylish Shapes circle die. Cardstock used was Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel and Brushed Silver Foil. I finished with some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
