By Teneale Williams | Stampin' Up! Stamp Sets: Awesomely Artistic,  Happy Birthday Everyone and Best Thoughts

Hands up if you find watercolouring relaxing?  I know I do and too the point I will often just sit down to watercolour when I am just feeling “stressed” or my mojo is missing, I find I clear my mind when colouring. Often I get in a roll and colour more then one image, giving me a good little stash of coloured images for when I am low on time to create a card.

I have stamped Best Thoughts Stamp Set {It’s a hostess set} on Watercolour paper with JetBlack StazOn, first I have added a halo of Crumb Cake ink around the flower then I moved on to colouring the leafs and petals. You may notice I have stamped a second layer of the leafs and petals which have been placed over the original image with the Crumb Cake. Using a mix of Perfect Plum and Elegant Eggplant to watercolour the petals, choosing to create a more rustic watercolour effect I have not “brushed” the colour onto the paper but more of a blob and dab action…. This is SO much easier to show and type! I love the mix of the two tones of purple.

Around my card on the base of Perfect Plum cardstock I have added a little stamped texture using a image from Awesomely Artistic, the image looks like the woven fibre of Burlap.

I just adore when I see a card with a “pretty” inside, I feel like it finishes the card off. Here I have just stamped 3/4 of the image and watercoloured, still giving me ample room to write a message to whoever receives my card. #needstobesomeoneireallylike

    Love this beautiful card! I was wondering if the top, or cut out layer, on the flower is done in watercolor paper also, or card stock?

    • Teneale says: June 18, 2015 at 12:10 pm

      All the watercolouring is on Watercolour paper. 🙂

    Your coloring is surreal — gorgeous and frameable! I don’t know how you do it, but I wish I could watch over your shoulder so I could begin to learn how to beautifully watercolor like this!

    This blob & dab thing sounds like a must try if it comes out like that, T. (is #blob&dab trending yet :-)). Such a bold & elegant card. Love it!
