SF18- Aqua Wash - Winner announced

(1/3) > >>

Conniecrafter:
I saw this technique  http://stampinwithkjoyink.typepad.com/stampinwithkjoyink/2017/02/aqua-wash-technique-featuring-lift-me-up-stamp-set.html and thought it was an interesting way to make a background with water color pens.  I have made one example that I will post tomorrow.

I wanted to have more ways of using my Spectrum Aqua pens, if you don't have any water based pens I will allow distress inks, but I would love to see this technique done with pens.  If you would like to make a background, and stamp and cut out you may do that also, but please share what your background looked like here before making your card.  I would like to see one stamped image at least, but you may also use dies on your card too.  I used a quart size bag for mine instead of a sandwich bag because it was bigger but now I am wondering if the softness of the sandwich bag would work better, my quart size bag was quite stiff.

Use SF18-Aqua wash when posting your cards and please also share here if you have tried this, I will be sending out a package to a random drawn name.

Please let me know if I have forgotten anything, or if you have any questions.

Here is my first attempt

A very pretty technique!  I tried something similar with distress oxide ink pads.  This technique looks more controlled because you add the water to the paper instead of the plastic.  Fun!  I will be happy to try it.  Good tip about trying a regular sandwich bag that is more flexible.

Thanks for hosting!

Iring:
Sounds like fun!  I will try it with my Tombow markers, they're water based.

howdyheidi:
I’ve been playing around with this a little today and found I was out of my normal watercolor paper.  I had a pack of the Tim Holtz paper so I tried that.  The rough side looks nice but it is so rough it is hard to stamp on.  And for some odd reason, when I tried the smooth side, there are dark lines throughout, like there were scratches on the paper that the ink settled into.  I am thinking I might need to go to the craft store and get some regular watercolor paper. 

Has anyone had that issue?

howdyheidi:
Well, I decided to go with one of my backgrounds for a winter card.

Here are some backgrounds here.  I used pink and blue, and then blue, aqua and purple in the other.

Thanks for the challenge!  I like this technique for controlling the water and color.
