For Jeanne's current MIX challenge: MIX155 Let It Flow.
I made yet another not very successful attempt at the Watercolor Bleed tutorial, using Winsor & Newton pan watercolours and watercolour paper, after embossing the image with clear EP. When it was dry, I spattered watercolour and also used a blue Inktense pencils for more spatters, and then misted it all. In case two different types of watercolour wasn't enough, I added gesso over drywall mesh tape, and when that was dry I added the border with a fine pen and a Sharpie. It's finished off with a little ribbon and sentiment tag - and apart from those it's a one-layer card.

So much beautiful detail on a one layer card. This is the best, Sabrina.

Jaw dropping gorgeous Sabrina. I love your colouring, it is so vibrant and colourful. I can't believe how different the stamp looks on our two cards. The detailed border, mesh and splattering add to the magic of this gem my friend.

That's the stamp Susie used for her MIX155 card. I love how you have used it here, just as I love how Susie used it. Not only beautiful, but fun, creative, and cheerful!

How can you call this "unsuccessful"??? I think the water coloring is so strikingly beautiful, and the gesso over drywall tape and splatters make it even lovelier!! Got to love that doodled border along the edge too!

Hey, Sabrina! I'm scoping the galleries for cool ways to use my Unity stamps, and this fabulous creation just jumped right out! I've added it to my favorites folder, thank you very much! I love the way you've colored the image, done the background, and made the PERFECT border! Amazingly done! (And yes, I'm aware of my apparent over-use of exclamation points, but they are all well-deserved!!!) ;)
