Happy Wednesday everyone! It’s Rachelle with you today and I can’t wait to share this “One-Layer” card! This is a major accomplishment for me because I layer everything and can’t help myself from adding a bit of bling to each and every card! But this no-line watercolor technique didn’t really need anything else so I stopped myself while I was ahead!
I started by taping a piece of watercolor paper to my heat-resistant cutting board with painter’s tape. I drew around a circle die cut in the center, watercolored a base layer around the circle and then stamped the woodland cottage image from the NEW “Winter Snow Globe Scenes” with “Hickory Smoke” Distress Oxide Ink.
I then watercolored the scene inside the glass ornament. When it was finished, I used the circle die cut to mask the ornament and ink-blended “Chipped Sapphire” and “Prize Ribbon” Distress Oxide Inks to intensify the background blue. The entire panel was spritzed with shimmer mist.
I lightly sketched the ornament hanger in pencil and painted it with gold metallic paint. I added light blue and white snowflakes to the panel, removed the tape, trimmed the panel down and attached it to a top-folding A2 card base. The sentiment from this same set was stamped using the MISTI to finish up this card.
Thanks so much for stopping by – Take care and happy crafting! Rachelle – Red Cre8s
