This is another video I was anxious to see because Kay Miller does beautiful watercoloring! I can never seem to master this technique, but watching the video sure helped. We were asked to "create a project that features watercoloring". I try to use different stamp sets than the DT uses, but this card was so pretty I just had to try it myself. I did use different color inks!
On watercolor paper, I stamped the mums in Tropical Teal and Aqua Mist inks, putting both inks on the stamp at the same time. The leaves are stamped in Spring Moss ink. I added a few little loose leaves in Tropical Teal ink. After the panel was stamped, I took a paintbrush with water and softened all the edges and spreading the ink. It didn't look that great until it started to dry. I flicked on splatters with Tropical Teal and Spring Moss inks.
I placed the "artwork" on a Tropical Teal cardstock card base, rounding the right hand corner. The sentiment is stamped in black ink on Aqua Mist cardstock and on fun foam for dimension. I think this is my favorite card I made for SAF!
