I got a couple more cards using watercolor techniques to share. I learned a lot as usual and even though this is much harder than anything else I tried I still enjoyed it. I’m curious about what the next class will be too...
So, this first card was a fake freehand painting. I transfered a rough sketch of an image I found online to watercolor paper and painted it. I am kind of happy about how it turned out since I am really not patient enough to be doing “real” watercoloring.
I also tried embossing and filling in with distress markers. I don’t really like the colors I picked but the effect is nice. I die cut a couple of balloons from a practice paper. I think they need a more defined edge maby? I had fun anyways.
Here is some more homework from the Watercolor for cardmakers class. I got new stamps from Pink Paislee today and was so happy to play with them and do my homework at the same time ;) Love the soft dreaminess of this card.
I have some cards to show as a part of the “homework” for the Watercolor for cardmakers class. I had a lot of fun playing with the techniques even though I don’t think I’ll master all of them. Some of them was hard! Also I don’t have good stamps for some of them but I’ll just keep trying with the ones I enjoy and manage to do and it’s really fun and I have gotten a lot of inspiration.
So, are you ready fo my homework? Seven cards in todays post, I was thinking I could divide this post into a few posts but I got lazy and will just post them all at once instead.
This one i stamped with mists, I didn’t get the watercolor effect but it looks pretty anyways :)
I made a background using watercolors and did the iron off technique on the embossing resist. Very fun! Need more background stamps!
I made a background by stamping with a acrylic block using watercolors. The effect is really nice and it was easy to achieve.
I used my inktense pencils to make a gradient background (also I used the cut outs from abother card as a sentiment) and splattered lots of mists and inks on it to make it more interesting.
I used my gelatos to stamp this cad. I was not very impressed with this technique, mostly since I got so few colors of gelatos and the turqoise one is really really pale. But the card turned out pretty after a few tries.
Another background made with inktense pencils. Here I used distress ink and water to make a stamped watercolor effect. I had trouble finding a good stamp for this technique in my stash. But these feathers turned out very pretty!
Watercolor and putting a stencil on top. I cut out most of my stencils with the Cameo so I was limited to a few stencils I own. I like the effect but not the result. I just remembered some old stencils that I forgot about, might have to revisit this one.
I’ll probably be back with more cards next week. I love the inspiration I get from these classes. I look forward to the rest of the class. Thanks for stopping by!
I’m in the new onlinecardclasses.com class where we learn techniques to create with watercolors. I love onlinecardclasses, it is always inspiring and they have some of my favourite teachers. The first two days was about creating backgrounds. I haven’t had too much time with this but I made two cards using a technique that was like stamping with your acrylic block to make backgrounds. I can’t say I’ve mastered it yet but I had a lot of fun with it and made two cards with the results.
I think they are both petty but I want to try out the rest of the techniques too. I love how the videos makes you want to go straight to the scrap desk and start creating. Looking forward to learning more! Now back to schoolwork. Thanks for stopping by!
