Today's MIX Challenge has us playing with water colors or scraps or tags or all 3. I have all 3. And also references a Watercolored Ornament Tutorial from Wednesday. And I admit, I started this "playing" last weekend before either was posted so I guess Dina & I must have been on the same wavelength, though I did go about mine a little differently.
For this one, I stamped the ornament on w/c paper then took a gold gel pen & drew squiggly lines across it to imitate marbling. Then I wet areas of the ornament. I added reds & bright pinks on one side then dried it w/ a heat gun. Then I did the yellows, blue & greens on the other side & dried it. The gold from the gel pen added a wonderful little bit of gold glitter across the ornament. I fussy cut it then covered it w/ clear embossing powder & heated it. I did this twice so it's really glossy. The red, lime & gold pieces were all scraps that I either embossed, die cut or used as is.
The little reddish drops are a bonus from making the ornament on the tag in the next upload.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & a few more details are on my blog: The Write Stuff
