Hello everyone! Today is New Release Day over at:
This digistamp set is so graphic and different! It really calls out for
colorizing it in a unique way. I decided to watercolor my image!
I simply printed out my image onto Altenew 140lb 100% cotton
cold press watercolor paper. This image is already composed for an A2 size card!
Since I have an inkjet printer, I printed this off and let it set overnight.
The next day I quickly ran my heat tool over it. I didn't have any
problems with running or smearing ink even though it's inkjet. I decided to
use Prima Watercolor Confections - Decadent Pies Palette to watercolor
my images.
I got this palette when Prima first came out with this line. Therefore,
the colors don't have names in this one...just numbers. I used all the
colors except the white, silver and the darkest blue.
All of the tree trunks were painted the same with the dark red/brown
color. Then I started laying in color. I didn't do anything fancy, no shading,
I did mix a few new hues. I was mindful to really be picky about where
I painted with the blue. It's a really strong and stands out.
I was striving to make all the trees look unique.
I was really pleased with my placement of color. I decided to
die cut a sentiment out of black card stock. I chose my card base
which is an A2 top folding base, and other papers. I used a
Simon Says Stamp die for the sentiment.
All of my components were finished so it was time to put my card
together. I used a black peel-off from Love From Lizi underneath the
sentiment so it would get lost. I used olive green enamel dots
as an embellishment and my card was done!
I hope you enjoyed today's project. I am in love with this color palette!
You will find inspiration all month long for wonderful designs from:
Thanks so much for taking the time to be inspired today!
