March ATC Watercolor Flight
|
I rarely stamp in multiple colors, but in this case I used small inkpads to stamp the pine needles, pine cones, the bird and it's legs.
I heat embossed with clear embossing powder before watercoloring the background with distress ink and sponging the edges. I painted the bird with Cretacolor watercolor pencils and used a wet brush and paper towel to remove color in a few spots near his eye. I was worried about stamping the text over bumpy embossing. Normally I might stamp on tissue paper ... but I had a white basket style coffee filter in front of me (to catch EP), so I stamped on that. I glued it down with matte multi-medium and it worked like a charm!
Stamps : Dina Wakley scribbly bird and verse, Stampendous Ponderosa pine
Inks : chalk and pigment inks for the images, archival for the verse, distress for the background
ATC : cut from Canson 140lb watercolor paper
