TLC630 ~ Baby Wipe Watercolor ~ {3/19/17} by kellyjg
So I tried the baby wipe technique and put my colors on the acrylic block and that was easy. I used distress stains and such, spritzed with water, used a craft wipe to pick up colors and added to a watercolor paper panel. WELL, I dropped the panel back on the very wet block and fumbled a couple of times and the paper got soaked. I used the heat gun to dry it and thought it looked usable.
The memory box tulips were die cut from other watercolor/smash/cleanup disaster pieces I keep for unknown reasons. The leaves were die cut from a piece of watercolor paper that I used ‘direct to acrylic block’ over and over in DI peeled paint, shabby shutters and forest moss ink pad. The rail strip under the butterfly was the left over from die cutting the stems.
This was good therapy for neuropathy.
Thanks Kelly and Ally for the challenges and everyone for stopping by!

After all the fumbling and dropping of the panel, it ended up very usable in my opinion - your description of making it definitely made me smile as I've had similar experiences. And I also have a box of disaster pieces that I keep just in case!
Love the beautiful tulips - wonderful colours and textures!
