Water Color Techniques with stamps

Monday Montage 222

9/11/2022

These projects are all part of the Water Color Technique class I taught this week. I wanted to share multiple ways to create water color projects.

Projects utilized Water Painters, Fluid 100 paper, Shimmery White paper and various techniques with ink on blocks.

This first card was a technique adding ink with a clear block to Fluid 100 paper that had been spritzed with water. I love the bright bold color is creates.

For this card we used the largest Water Painter brush to add three shades of purple (Rich Razzleberry, Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia) to Fluid 100 paper to create an ombre look. After letting it dry completely we added the stamped images with Memento Black Ink. Layering it with an embossed panel creates a fun look!

This card was created by adding ink to a block, spritzing with water and then inking up the stamp. We stamped the images on Shimmery White card stock.

Shimmery White is great for water coloring. It doesn't absorb the water the same way that Fluid 100 does but it doesn't warp like regular Basic White does when water is applied.

This photo gives you a look at the supplies used.

The last card we created used the smallest Water Painter to color in the apple from the Apple Harvest stamp set. When I water color, or use my Blends, I like to start with the dark color along any solid lines and work my way in with lighter colors.

Are you a fan of water coloring? Which of these have you tried before?
