TGIF and Friday the 13th, no less! Day 3 of Kathy's (The Daily Marker) Coloring Challenge and I decided to revisit her print-making coloring from a previous challenge. I had loads of fun with it this summer (see an example here) and thought it would be great using a large snowflake die.
Supplies: Paper - Ms Sparkle & Co A2 card;
Strathmore 140 lb Cold Press Watercolor;
CZ Designs Sentiment Strips Reverse Christmas
Dies - A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle;
Hero Arts Snowflake Fancy Die (retired)
Other - Yasutomo watercolors; Twinkling H2Os;
Michael's gem
Basically all you do is die cut something from watercolor paper and paint it while it sits atop a sheet of more watercolor paper. Once painted you can spritz the object and use it as a stamp too. Cut a portion of the print you want to feature and away you go! Added my panel to an A2 card. Layered an unpainted snowflake behind the painted one for dimension and added a gem. Adhered to card and added a sentiment stripe - done!! This card works great for mass production - very quick and easy!
I had selectively die cut my print so it was off the edge. That way it would work for the current CAS Mix Up Challenge (second entry). Also used non-traditional colors so I'm adding to CAS Christmas (second entry) too. My card works at Watercooler Wednesday for All Occasions (my third and final there). Thanks for all the fun challenges!!
Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a crafty weekend! Stay safe out there!!
