I am playing along with a new feature on the Ink to Paper blog called "The Great Cover Up". Kavya provided a wonderful tutorial video on faux watercoloring. It begins with images stamped in dye ink; I chose PTI's Floral Sketches in Hibiscus Burst, Harvest Gold, and Spring Green. The next step was to paint over and around the images with water colors. The panel was completed with watercolor and white acrylic splatters. Now, here's the "Cover Up" on my card. The set includes an elongated cluster of tiny blooms which I stamped in purple. Watercoloring over them caused the small blossoms to lose their shape and become a blotchy mess. That is why my full card panel became a square. It was a fun process, and like other things will improve with additional attempts.
Thank you for visiting,
Christine
