Scrap Card #17

This is another of the images that Mum and I coloured using distress inks.  We started out by embossing the stamped image in white, applying a liberal amount of water directly to the paper and then using a brush to add colour.  The white embossing keeps the image looking lovely and soft, but we had to be careful to add in plenty of dark and light contrasting areas so that portions of the image didn't get lost.

 

 

My New Year's Resolution

Frog and Oleander Card

My lovely friend Penny has been inspiring me to bring out my water-based mediums and some brushes and have a play with some of my stamps.  I love working with water colours - with just a few strokes of the brush you can achieve a seemingly endless variation of shade and vibrancy.  It's probably one of the most forgiving colouring mediums and a wonderful way to relax and allow the water and colour do the work for you.
