Challenge: WCE088 - Valentine's Day Cards
Date: February 2, 2022
Hello all! Welcome to February and for those in my neck of the woods be prepared for a dumping of snow coming overnight. It is rare that Southern Ontario gets a big storm, and I love the snow, so I am super excited it is on the way. But, while I wait let us get started on this weeks watercolour challenge. We are visiting with Emma Jane Lefebvre for some Valentine fun. Her video is here:
Great, excited to get started, hopefully I can finish the card early so I can post it. As for the snow that is coming I’m am not looking forward to it. I get cold just looking at the white stuff.
just to let you all know, Angie is with us in Spirit this week Peeking in without commenting as Her hand/wrist is in a split and typing one handed is not ideal for the healing to commence.
I will be doing a second chart in addition showing a strategy how to overcome the totally opaque (100% opacity) hearts. In Inkscape, totally opaque behave like die solid color die-cuts as you would see.
Since I use use graphic software (Inkscape), I do not have advantage of moist inks merging in overlaps of colors. I have to rely on transparent colors to show the merged color or add extra colors. I hope this answers some of your questions. My next chart should help maybe by Monday.
I made several watercolor panels after watching the YouTube this week! it was lots of fun and this card also worked for the Teapot Tuesday challenge for Anne's hubby, Jay's 80th birthday on Valentine's Day!
