Thank you so much Kia, Linda, Angie and Brenda for starting this fabulous weekly challenge. About the only thing I do with my water colours is pat the box (it's a gorgeous big set of Gansi Tambi).
I am so excited to learn about water colouring from all of you wonderful, talented ladies.
You can tell I am taking this new adventure seriously, I used genuine (not my el cheapo) watercolour paper. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to use the rough side or the smooth side - so I did both - the rough side look best, although perhaps a bit dark.
The smooshing is with acetate and distress inks and the gold is Gansi Tambi water colours. I had fun with this and can't wait to see what comes next.
Thank you for looking.
Edit: I purposely over heated the modelling paste so it would bubble up a bit and resemble the texture of the cardstock.
EDIT: I just read Marg's comment plus I have had a few PM's about the centre of the flower. It is just modelling paste (applied thickly), then over heated with the hot gun until the paste bubbles up.
