Happy Sunday! I am back today with the Creation Station Design Team as we explore the theme of ‘Beach Life’. This theme was so challenging as I didn’t really have any stamps that feel fit the idea I had in my head. So I forgot about stamps and focused on our inks and our Water Painters [151298].
If you aren’t already a customer of mine and would like to be, you can request a catalogue here.
Water Painters
Water Painters hold liquid for easy watercolouring. 3 painters: 1 fine tip, 1 medium tip, 1 large flat brush tip. Use with Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper or Shimmery White Cardstock and Classic Stampin’ Ink or Watercolor Pencils.
Todays Project
I used to love watercolouring when I was studying art and I still use elements within my card making. This card however is quite literally me painting a scene with our fantastic range of inks. For this painting I used the wet on wet technique which means I flooded the area in before applying the ink. I decided to keep my sketch lines as it just adds to the style.
For the styling I kept it really simple with a Crumb Cake A4 Cardstock [121685] card base. I love a mini slimline card and the size of the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper [149612] just worked perfect for it. To add a little interest I tore the top & bottom edge. The sentiment is from one of my go to sets, Sending Smiles Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [158701]. The slim sentiments are just perfect for so many different projects.
