This is my sample for the second challenge for Watercolor Wednesday. You can find it here. Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Using Dina's tutorial to water color this large stamp using my ink pads. Used the glazing technique she describes. It is were you start with the lightest color and color the image and let it dry. You then put another layer of a darker color. Continue doing this until you are happy. The only thing different I do is when finished coloring , will take a brush with clean water and dab the clean water were I want it lighter. It reactivates the ink, and then take paper toweling and dab the color off. I did mask the image when stenciling the background. It was stenciled with a blending brush from picket fence and TH peacock feathers ink pad. Added sentiment. Used my best paper for this card. Many times use cheaper water color paper.

So beautiful, Linda. Such a great image, super stencil, and great coloring skill. I need to remember that clean brush removal trick. I love this card. Hugz

Fabulous coloring! I love the way the pink flowers pop against that beautiful stenciled background!
