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.

I watched Dina's video again and will definitely try this technique one of these days. Your card and watercoloring are exquisite in every way! Hugs and love! xoxo

If you keep putting up cards like this gorgeous creation we will all have something to shoot for! Or maybe it will scare us off. For me it will challenge me until I can make something this impressive. Which may take a very long, long time if it ever happens. Your gorgeous layers of color throughout every part of the image and BG are so filled with interest!
