Watercolour pine bough

I have another watercolour card today created using a similar technique to this card. I had a piece of watercolour paper was already covered with little flecks of masking fluid so I wet the panel, inked the pine bough stamp with Memento markers and stamped it onto the wet paper. It bled quite a bit so I let it dry a little then re-inked and stamped again to give definition to the pine cones and needles. I painted the background with diluted distress stain which blended in some places with the stamping. Because I chose to mat my picture panel I did not want another border around the sentiment so I stamped the sentiment on a post-it note and cut out the centre text creating a window mask to stamp through.
My daughter made some cute cookies this week.
Supplies:
Stamps: Needles and cones, Glad Tiding (PB)
Inks: Memento Cottage Ivy, EspressoTruffle & Distress Stain Broken China (Tsukineko)
Cardstock: Fabriano 25% cotton hot pressed watercolour paper
Also: Winsor & Newton Masking Fluid

Another beautiful stunner. This is a lovely technique that you’ve been doing with the water coloring & overstamping. TFS
So beautiful
I thought to say stunning before I read the first comment! I want to get into doing this with cards as well.
Thank you so much,
Shirley
Oh my gosh! This is amazing! I love that pine cone stamp! You make me want to buy everything PB! LOL. Just lovely. 🙂
Now I really really have to try this watercolour stamping technique. This is beautiful. Choosing brown ink for the sentiment was wise, too, works perfectly.
Wow! I really love your creative style.
