In the Meadow Part 3

Another quick card I made whilst In the Meadow and the Watercolor Pencils were out...

But before I start on the card... don't forget that the Retiring List publishes at 8pm UK tonight... I will be back to publish the link as soon as it posts!

Background just Wet-Aquapainted (ie scribble pencil on plastic, add a drop of water and colour across the watercolor card using the AquaPainter) & then very quickly dabbed with a tissue to add a bit of extra texture/clouds...

Corn at the front with the Damp & Stamp Technique... click here for directions on that... 

And here is the trio of In The Meadow using the Watercolor Pencils cards together...

Hope to "see you" later... 8pm for the Retiring List! Please remember to just go and order online... quoting this month's Host/Stampin Rewards Code JU9WH4MV. Yes you can email or ring me for my Tuesday night order but then I can't promise to get you everything you want at first view! And I will be very busy oohing and aahing over the new catalogue that is released to we demos at 8pm - so you may find me a bit distracted!!!

Watercolor Pencils # 11 - Damp & Stamp Technique Parts 2 & 3

Another card made with the Watercolor Pencils Damp & Stamp Technique (as shared earlier here)... but a little more controlled this time... 

First the background... Pacific Point and White pencils scribbled onto plastic (Stamp A Ma Jig sheet perfect! Clear blocks not...)  Spritzed (or added drop of water from the Aqua painter) and then Aqua painter washed the sky on the Watercolor Paper. Same but with Old Olive pencil for the grass... left to dry...

Then onto the Damp & Stamp technique Part 2... I used the Aquapainter to cover the leafy areas of the stamp with water... then coloured those areas with the Old Olive pencil... then I went back with the Aquapainter and applied the water to the trunk and branch areas... then coloured those areas with the Early Espresso pencil. Then spritzed and then stamped... (Note to self for a remake! Don't add water to those long grass bits in the centre of the trees!!)

And then onto the Damp & Stamp Technique Part 3... using the grass stamp in the In the Meadow set... wet just the bottom of the grass stamp (see image top right).... add Old Olive pencil... Spritz and stamp upside down... perfect grass length!

In The Meadow Cornfield.... using Watercolor Pencils #5

Quick share of another Watercolor Pencils card today.... made me feel quite the artist!

I will be back another day to explain the technique I used for the background.... but for today... spot the three little birds... just 3 little hand-drawn ticks using my Early Espresso marker pen... about the only thing I can draw!!
