WCW018 {9/30/20} Watercolor Background on Embossed Paper

Hostess: Julie (justwritedesigns)
Keyword: WCW018
Challenge name: Watercolor Background on Embossed Paper


Oh my! Can you believe it will be October tomorrow? It's my honor to Guest Host the Water Color Wednesday challenge today. And while it may sound a lot like emboss resist, this technique isn't that technique at all. This involves watercoloring a DRY embossed background. And I can't recall ever doing that so it was new to me. It's also very easy for everyone to do. So pull out your favorite embossing folders & your favorite watercolors. I used Peerless Watercolors but any will do. Fair warning: it's hard to do just one!

Here's a video showing it: Watercolor Background on Embossed Paper

The hardest part of this was choosing an embossing folder . . . weel and then figuring out how to turn it into a card when it was dry . . I never seem to have a plan when I start . . .lol

Here's mine: Caught in Seaweed

I did things a little differently, starting with a watercolor panel from my stash.  It looks way better than it did.  Thanks, Julie.  WCW018 Orchard by ArtzadoniStudio at Splitcoaststampers by Lori "Artzadoni"

what a beautiful challenge. Old Wallpaper

[MiamiKel4]

Absolutely perfect challenge for this week as it gave me an idea for a background piece!

Thank you!

Here's mine:  Alice's Birthday!

[mcschmidty]

I love this challenge- and made more than one.  My first card is a 'tight' version where the watercolors were added but in a contained area

Amazing things

and the 2nd looser addition of the paints

Happy Birthday

Thanks for another really fun challenge!

So, I thought this would be so easy. ( and it was... and I still found things I would do differently next time around I think) I did use large brushes as shown in the video and I think I would pick a different texture next go around. Thanks for this push Julie, here is one from me.

[Jay_Bee]

I made two simple cards

Winter

Smile

[annsforte3]

This was fun, so I did a few!  

Whatever

Create the Story

Beauty in Nature

Too Much Happy

Spooky Mansion

[pixordia]

I am glad I gave this a try.  I was really timid to try watercoloring but it is

much more forgiving than I thought it would be. 

Here is my card.

Reflecting

[pixordia]

I had one more try. It really is a fun technique. Looking forward to trying 

the next challenge with you all. 

Your Wings Exist.

HERE is mine - only a little shows but it is there.

Finally decided to add this card even though this was two weeks or so ago.
