This is my project for MIX4, Water You Doing?!, to use water and water soluble medium to make color move. Dina gave us a great tutorial!
I stamped the Recollections (un-named) stamp on watercolor paper with VersaFine Onyx Black and colored with watercolor pencils. After misting the paper I applied several colors of Distress Ink and Stain, then let it dry. I added a patchy layer of watered-down DS Picket Fence with a foam brush, then repeated this step using a very light coat of DS Tarnished Brass. When this dried I splattered random water drops and let it dry again. For the next step I spritzed water heavily in spots and let it run down the page. The last step (to this point, anyway) was to apply a bit of gold Psst Shimmer Spritz to the spots on the wing of the top butterfly, and one of the flowers. I THINK I'm finished with it - ;).
As always, thanks for looking!
