Happy Little Stampers ~ February Watercolour Challenge

Yeah - we've made it through the first month of 2021! With the COVID vaccines, there seems to be a bit more optimism as we look forward. We're not out of this mess, but at least, there is some hope that our lives will once again, be "normal".

We have a new challenge at Happy Little Stampers ~ Watercolour Challenge

Here's my card

I started with an A2 panel of 96 lb bristol. I smooshed some distress ink (salty ocean, mermaid lagoon and faded jeans) onto a square acrylic block and spritzed lightly with water before applying the acrylic block, ink side down onto the 96 lb bristol. I carefully lifted the acrylic block and used a paper towel to pick up any puddles of ink/water. I repeated the process a few times until I was happy with the effect. I stamped the sentiment, from the same stamp set below the inked square. For the fish, I stamped them using Paper Smooches Birthday Buddies stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some scrap white cardstock. I added color with Copic markers - BV13, E08, R37, Y02, Y15, Y38 and carefully fussy cut them. I added glossy accents to the eyes. When dry, I adhered them in the inked square. For a bit of whimsy, I added small pompoms to the tops of their birthday hats. Not sure how I'll be able to mail them though ...  Here's a close up

We'd love for you to join us and show us your watercolour creations.
