Water Color with Distress Inks.

Hi Crafty Friends,
For Always Fun Challenges this week, we're going Clean and Simple.
This is most often my style of choice.
I wanted to try a new technique for my project.
I used a metal stencil (can be used for embossing or stenciling) and Distress Inks.
After taping the stencil onto my watercolor paper, I used a fingertip sponge dauber to apply the ink and a chalking tool to add the small areas of shadow. Finally, I used a water brush to lightly blend each area. When I removed the stencil, this is how it turned out. I love this technique! Being a stamp colorist, it's hard for me to color/paint without lines but I love the free look of water coloring.
This was a great solution until I get comfortable with this medium.
Just some matting and score lines for interest and I called it done.

Hi Crafty Friends,
This week's theme for Always Fun Challenges is
Water Colors.
I've been wanting to work with embossed stamping and water colors so here's the result of my efforts.
The stamp is Jaded Blossom's Poinsettia set which I stamped and then heat embossed with Gold Detail. The I water colored using Distress Inks - so much fun!
The sentiment is also heat embossed onto vellum using Jaded Blossom's Elegant Holiday Greetings.
The amazing gold/white mat card stock is the Mercury Glass stack from Hobby Lobby - I'm in love!
Please join us each week for our water color challenge. Just follow the link above.
Hi Crafty Friends,
It's my design team day on the Paper Crafting World Design Team Blog.
I have been wanting to try water coloring with Distress Inks and I found the perfect Paper Crafting World image on which to try.
Here's my project using the Wonderful Beautiful You Digital Printable stamp image.
I just smeared Distress Inks onto an acrylic block, dipped my brush in water and then the ink and began to paint. I also used a water brush to help blend the colors.
The papers are from a K & Co stack I had in my stash. The sentiment is a part of the Digital Printable set. All I added was some American Crafts ribbon, and Queen&Co and Doodlebug Designs adhesive flowers and dots.
Thanks for visiting!
