Hello Watercolor Friends,
There are some amazing brand new stamp sets available now from
Art Impressions! I used the new
5125 - WC Elves Set to create this card for the latest challenge, "Floral Cards" on the
Art Impression's blog. I stamped the mushroom using both the brown and blue. I pulled the color out of the lines. I took Sepia from the pallet to paint in the circles on the mushroom top. I used the red 885 on the palette to color in the mushroom top. I stamped the door from the
5056 WC Fairy Doors Set (which fits perfectly) using the sepia and added lines with the fine tip of the sepia pen. I colored the door pine green, using the palette. I used the sepia fine tip to darken in the door shadows and door knob leaving that white high light in the center. I used the stamp positioner to stamp the elf on top of the mushroom house using 40 brownish grey. Then I colored him using the pine green on his pants and hat and half sleeves and I used 77 pastel peach to color in his face and hands. I colored his hair and shoes in with the sepia. I stamped a single flower in his hand from the
4868 WC Flower Set 2 using blue 565 and pine green and then stamped in the group of those same flowers above the mushroom and added water. I used pine green and stamped the leaves from the
5009 - WC Mini Flower set then used the flowers from
4052 - Flower Set 1 and stamped the flowers in using the red 885. I added water to them. I used the grass from the
4051 - WC Foliage Set 1 and stamped it in using the olive green. I used the tall stalks from the brand new
5126 - WC Foliage Set 4 and the 72 pine green and stamped them in the background. I put some olive green on the palette and dabbed it in around those leaves. I used blue 526 on the palette to color in my sky. I took actual watercolor paint - silver and white to make my sky look more cloudy. I cut out my image using the
5065 - Oval Double Stitched Dies and cut out the red background piece from the next larger oval die. I used two of the
5063 - Rectangle Double Stitched dies for the next background pieces. I glued those little green jewel flowers in the corners. Lastly, I used a Copic Multi Liner 0.03 pen to add the black centers to the flowers, draw in the elf's eyelash, draw the string on his shirt, and sign and date it.
