A Muse Studio Saturday

2/28/2015

2 Comments

 
It's the last day of February and I decided to enter A Muse Studio's February Creative Challenge.  The theme is Shine Bright.  Elements such as Glitter, Crystal Clear Glaze, Twinkles & Pearls, clear cardstock, heat embossing and more can be used.  Plus it was a good excuse for me to finally play with February and March's new collections.

Well, I must have re-designed one card 14 different times because I couldn't zero in on one design that I liked.  After awhile, it came together and here it is:

This is a no-line watercolor and as many of you know, I LOVE to watercolor!  I stamped the front mason jar first and then masked it using Eclipse paper so I could stamp the larger jar 'behind' it.  Then I used Distress Antique Linen to stamp the flowers.  Use a fairly light ink so it will 'disappear' during the watercolor process.  I mostly used wet to wet water coloring, which just means I wet the watercolor paper in little sections at a time with my brush and then added paint.  Paint the little section and go to another section that isn't next to the area just painted; otherwise, your colors will bleed.

A diecut acetate mason jar is affixed over each of the stamped mason jars images.  It's difficult to see, but I painted a wash of light blue water in the bottom of the jars.  The stamens are embossed with A Muse gold embossing powder.
