Watercolour leaves
Posted: December 29, 2011 Filed under: CAS, With Gratitude 18 Comments
There is plenty of snow outside now but I have slipped back into a fall colour scheme to try out this technique. I painted the word in masking fluid with a small paintbrush on watercolour paper. I then used two leaves from With Gratitude, a few colours and a water spritzer to dampen both the stamp and the paper. I sponged a bit of brown and green before peeling off the masking fluid.
This is a second card for the Just One Word challenge at Less is More.
Supplies:
Stamps: With Gratitude (SU)
Inks: Summer sun, Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi, Close to Cocoa, Old Olive
Cardstock: MFP Watercolor card
Also: Windsor & Newton Masking fluid

Super card! Such a brilliant technique, and I love your leafy collage:)
This is a really interesting effect Heather, the colours are fabulous. I must really try to see if I can find some masking fluid.. the things you achieve with it are awesome.
I also see that two words have become one!
It’s a great card.
Thanks so much and Happy New Year.
