I am using the newly released
Ornaments set along with Distress Stains and watercolor paper for my card today.
I first started with gathering all of the supplies that I was going to need for this project, which includes Archival Ink. The great thing about this ink is that it will not bleed when combined with water.
The first color I used was Shabby Shutters. I used the wider flat water brush and dipped it into the palette where I hold small amounts of my Distress Stains. I filled the body of the long ornament in completely.
I then used the same brush in Crushed Olive and filled in slightly more than half of the ornament.
And then with Peeled Paint, I filled in about one third of the ornament.
Next I used the smaller tipped water brush with Black Soot to fill in the top of the ornament.
After the paper was dry {helped along with the Heat It tool}, I squeezed out a bit of Rock Candy Distress Stickles onto the darker part of the ornament.
And then spread it around with my finger a bit.
Once the Rock Candy was dry, I used a die to cut out the ornament and attached it to my card.
And viola!! A watercolored look to a Christmas card!
Here is a closer look at the Rock Candy.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
