Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Using a watercolor pencil (Pacific Point used here), draw a pond. Scribble lightly inside the drawing to fill in the area.
-
Step 2
Use a waterbrush or a wet brush to blend out the pencil and watercolor the pond.
-
Step 3
Place a piece of copy paper about 2” from the top as a mask. Use a waterbrush or wet brush and a light blue ink to apply a light tint of blue for the sky. Let dry completely before continuing.
-
Step 4
Add stamped details to the scene.
-
Step 5
Apply a heavy layer of fine-tip glue over the pond. Lay flat and let dry. This will take a few hours to dry, untouched.
-
Step 6
Apply embossing paste all around the pond and at the bottom of the sky line.
-
TIP:
Die cuts can be tucked into the snow while the embossing paste is still wet. -
Step 7
Embellish the card to complete the project.
