I have increasingly been inspired by the amazing water colour artists displaying and demonstrating their work on social media. A couple of weeks ago I decided to have a go with the Stampin' Up! watercolour paper, shimmer card and our reinkers. I love that when our inkpads start to run out we can refresh them with a bottle of intense pigment ink, I also love that they can be used for projects such as these and the baby wipe technique (which can be seen here).
As you'll see in the video I go through a process of trying to "do" water colour a certain way, then trying a new way and finding my rhythm. It reminded me that to get to a point where you are happy with the results of your art it takes some pushing. Pushing of your own preconceptions of what works and what doesn't, pushing the medium to find what you would like it to do.
The result was a 16 minute video tutorial, I deliberately kept in a lot of my process for you to see how it all came together.
The colours used are from the subtles collection, with some experimentation on our standard card stock too.
This card had some extra work with the daisy, leaf and small flower punch from the Bitty Blooms punch pack.
