I got out another one of my favorite stamps, Jumbo Hydrangea Set by Stampendous, and my Peerless paints and had a bit of playtime.
I used the wet on wet method, and dropped blue and purple into the petals, allowing them to blend on their own. The background is also wet on wet, with a blend of blue, yellow and green which I dabbed off with paper towel so it would be very soft. The sentiment is stamped on vellum and heat embossed, with a few sequins for a bit of texture.
The last time I used this stamp, I used it with Kuretake watercolours which are more opaque than the Peerless. Maybe I'll try it with Twinkling H2O's next for a completely different look. :)
Oohhh,,, WoW! Lovely!!

ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and the flowers look so real!! You've done an amazing job with your watercolouring. I enjoy colouring this way but I don't have the artistic touch like yourself, so will have to live vicariously thru you and your wonderful skill. Perfection!
