Watercolor Spritz!

Love this technique I learned recently! Isn't it pretty?


2009 may 082 


I used my Big Shot, and the Impressions folder called Manhattan Flower to emboss onto Shimmery White cardstock. Then I rubbed the Versamark ink pad over the raised areas (carefully) and heat embossed that with clear embossing powder. Next step is to spritz the carstock with water (quite a bit) to create some little puddles in the lower sections. Using an aquapainter (or a paintbrush), dab bits of re-inker colors into the sections. The color spreads into the puddles, and it looks so neat! Let is air-dry for at least 30 minutes, and then cut around the image, keeping the sections that turn out the best.

On these projects I also added:


Whisper White cardstock base, punched with the Eyelet Border Punch, added some 5/8" grosgrain ribbon (in Regal Rose/Brocade Blue), and added a white half-back pearl from the Pretties Kit. The colors of re-inkers I used are: Regal Rose/Pretty in Pink/Cameo Coral, and on the blue version: Brocade Blue, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue. 


For the sentiment, I used the Dreams du Jour stamp set , inked it with the markers (same color combos as above) as well as Certainly Celery. 


So Summery! 


Have a great day!
