For the latest Sketch Challenge at splitcoaststampers.com I am taking the double dare and have created a swing easel card.
The sketch ….
My card …
Tips:
- My art panel started out as a Blended Alcohol background on watercolor paper. The results were nothing like that on vellum and I was not happy with the effect. However, I used some white craft ink direct to paper to add some texture and then used a Pigma Micron pen to add some whimsy flowers and leaves around the coloured shapes. I will have to have another try on the watercolor paper soon.
- Supplies to create the Blended Alcohol background:
- Watercolor Paper
- 90% or above Isopropyl Alcohol
- Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers
- Paint Brush or Water Painter
- How to create the Blended Alcohol background:
- Use the Blends to add splotches of each colour randomly across a piece of watercolor paper. Do not leave very much white space.
- Dip paint brush into alcohol and dab each of the splotches. The colours will start to move and blend into each other.
- Allow the panel to dry and then add splatters of alcohol with the paint brush.
- Allow splatters to dry.
