This is,in fact, such a valuable piece of information, that in your overwhelming gratitude to me for sharing, and saving you untold grief, you may wish to shower me with cash. I don't blame you, this is information necessary to the well-being of both you and your art. I will however share this for free! (One time only, after this I'm charging for it!)
Okay, are you ready?
Oh, heck, why ruin the surprise? I'll tell you at the end of my post. Mwahahahahhah!
Here's my card using a Unity Stamp's Itty Bitty, Twinkling H20's, and Jennifer McGuire's background and Rubber Cement masking technique from Day 2.
Nice straight borders on the outside for before the tequila, and wavy ones for after!
So I guess by now, the suspense is driving you crazy. So here it is :
NEVER PUT YOUR CUP OF TEA NEXT TO YOUR PAINTBRUSH WATER !!
Don't ask me how I know!
I'm linking up to Unity Friends with Flair : http://www.theunitystampco.blogspot.ca/2014/05/friends-with-flair_16.html
Does that mean you drank the paintbrush water or that you drank paint flavored tea? Neither one sounds particularly tasty.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to pay me for that information!
Deletemmmm, paint-water.... but the card is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card! I love that crisp margarita image! Paint flavored tea. I've tried a lot of different teas, but never that one! I'll take your word for it that I won't like it. Thanks for the story -- and the card!
ReplyDeleteEeeewwwwhhhh! I'll bet that was a bit of a surprise when you tasted the brown water! Well, at leaSt your card turned out nice! I guess I might rather drink brown water than have another craft catastrophe, if I get to pick my poison, which you obviously did by accident! Lol!
ReplyDeletePretty cards! LOL - good tip! Well, live and learn... you had a 50/50 shot it might have tasted better, though, right? Sometimes you just never know. :)
ReplyDeleteI can tell you this.... I would have never been able to keep the paint out of that glass image! Love this!
ReplyDeleteGreat card and colors! I have seen a few people mention this technique, I will have to dig through my craft stuff to see if I can find some rubber cement now!
ReplyDeletepriceless! too funny! Raider thought I was laughing at him!
ReplyDeleteGreat card and I am always working with a tea. Thanks for the warning.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors on your card and love your advice!
ReplyDeleteROFL! Think of it this way--at least it was watercolor paint, and not acrylic paint! That would have been vile!!!! :0
ReplyDeleteCard turned out beautifully!
Oh yes, I always keep those two liquids far apart. :D Beautiful card -- love the vibrant swaths of Twinkling H2Os.
ReplyDeleteThe card is fantastic! I've almost had paint in my coffee. I was saved by having a tall mug ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your tip :) and the striking colours of your card. Looks gorgeous!! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove your bold background colors. Fabulous card. TFS
ReplyDeleteThank you for the little teaser building up to that wonderful advice! You had me giggling all along only to say so quietly…"I know, right!" Love this bright and fun card…makes me wish for a margarita…right this minute!
ReplyDeleteGreat card and image. Such rich colors too.
ReplyDeleteI have always been so hooked on watercolor. I especially like how easy it is to erase with water. This card is stunning. I love the vibrancy. Your story of the paint brush water. I use twinks on almost every card. I also use a Niji waterbrush and never have open water anywhere. Not only that, I don't need the paint wells either. I don't spray my pots and use scratch/used computer paper(backside) to clean my brush and if it needs it further I use kleenex. My twinks are lasting forever. I do want to try the pencils too. Probably TMI - Love your card!!!
