Thoughtful......

I am always in need of Thank You cards....in fact, that's probably the most common type of card that I make. So here is one I did just the other day, using the watercolour technique!

I started out by stamping my Doodle This images on watercolour paper in black Stazon Ink. Then I used my SU Aquapainter and my reinkers to 'paint' my images. This is only like, the third or fourth time I've done this technique, so don't look too closely, but I think I'm improving. And that's the whole point of this stampin' thing, right??? Right.

So I tend to do a light layer of the colour that I'm doing over the whole area and then go back in and darken it up in certain areas. I think this gives it depth and shading. I chose Bravo Burgundy, Always Artichoke and Summer Sun for my colours. I also used a tiny bit of Bordering Blue to shade around the images. I stamped the AA base card with the flowers and doodles from Doodle This in AA and then stamped 'thoughtful' by Hero Arts in Basic Black. I matted the main image on Bravo Burgundy cardstock and added some grosgrain ribbon. That's it!! Easy peasy!! And now I have another Thank You card for when I need it....which is right now!!!
