Watercolor My World! Make It Monday #135

A few Sundays ago my friend Laura Rossmann taught a watercolor class in my home. What a great technique and it was so much fun to see all the colorful backgrounds everyone created. Laura inspired me to use this technique to create a few watercolor backgrounds of my own and I thought I would share them with you in this week’s Make It Monday tutorial. Thanks Laura, you are a great teacher!

A Closer Look

I used our Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, a Daffodil Delight spot, a Garden Green spot, and a Blueberry Bushel spot to create the background for my first two cards. You can do all colors at once or individually. Be sure to let your cardstock dry complete between colors and before you stamp and assemble your final panels. I added a few silver pearls to my first card.

For my third card I again used our Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, a Daffodil Delight spot, a Gorgeous Grape spot and a Balmy Blue spot. Your final project really does depend on the color combo that you choose and also where you place your paper on the the color palette you create. It is so fun to see how the final project turns out once it dries completely.

I used the Night Divine stamp set on all three cards and I stamped the greetings with Night of Navy and Memento Black ink. Again be sure that your project is completely dry before stamping and assembling your final project. I decided to add a few very small pearls to my last card but you could also use some colored gems.

Laura’s class inspired me and I hope my cards today inspire you to play around with this technique and create something unique and beautiful. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
