Hi everyone, I am on the ScrapMatrix Blog sharing with you my art journal page that I have created for this months challenge - Watercolour and Words Share:
I have used the amazing Twinkling H20's by Colourarte.
You can find them in the store with this link
Here is my art journal page:
I started the page using a Visible Image stamp - Face It - once the ink was dry I began to add the colours. The H20's are fantastic - you add water to the jars and the hard colour liquefies.
I did a class once with the awesome Fiona Paltridge and see said over and over again - water is your friend when using water colours. She is so true. I added water to the art journal page, added water to the H20's jars and everytime I added more colour my brush went into the clean water container first.
When adding a new colour I let the colours blend together themselves with the water that is on the page- so place the colours a little apart from each other.
Here are some close ups:
As an extra I also created some water colour cards:
On watercolour paper I used the H20's and created some patterns using brushes and stencils.
For the Thank you card I cut out the hearts using a punch and sewed them onto cardstock
For the celebrate card I have die cut balloons from the water colour paper as well as adding it behind the die cut white cardstock.
For the Hello card I did the same, added the watercolour paper behind the die cut cardstock as well as die cutting the "hello". I also used the water colour paint to stamp the butterfly.
