Tri-Color Watercolor Wash with One Wild Ride

This is another of the projects I made for the Stampin' Up! corporate blog post as one of my duties as a member of the 2017 Artisan Design Team. I thought I would split these projects into three posts on my blog so I can go into greater detail with them.

I had to play with some watercoloring. I wanted something a little artsy, edgy, and feminine. Do you think I achieved that?

Put down some water on a Watercolor paper panel, then drop some Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink, and Fresh Fig ink in the wet area with an Aqua-painter. The Heat Tool makes quick work of drying it. Add some clean water spatters and dab them off with a clean-ish cloth, and then add some more Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig spatters.
After that is dry, stamp the motorcycle image in Archival Black ink on the watercolored panel.
The sentiment is stamped in Archival Black on Vellum, then Clear heat embossed. And trimmed off to size.
More stitching before adhering the panel to a Thick Whisper White card base using Fast Fuse.

While you are spattering, you may want to spatter the inside of the card. And finish the sentiment with Archival Black ink.

And I must have been on a roll with the videos, because I have another one here for you!

One more shot, just for fun! Sometimes I get more good photos than I need, and it feels like such a waste if I don't use them ;)
