Hi my dear crafty friends!
I want to give you step by step instructions
for these two watercolor tags. I used one of my Brusho backgrounds. I
love to play with these awesome powders.
1. Create a
background with Brusho powders. I alternate in adding water with a spray
bottle and Brusho pigments until I am happy.
2. I have a homemade tag stencil with which I can choose where to cut my tags from.
3. I ended up with these two backgrounds:
4.
To add some texture to them I use the ARTplorations stencils "Nestled Circles", "Square Links" and
"Tribal Swirl". Instead of adding any color through the stencils, I only add water
with a spray bottle.
5.
Remove the stencil and let the color react with the water. Dab it off
with a paper towel. You'll end up with some pretty ghosting textures.
6. My background is not done yet. I add some splatters for more interest.
7.
Now it's time to stamp the main images and the titles. I use black
pigment ink together with the "Small Birds" and the " Large Hummingbird"
stamp set.
8. The sentiments are from the "Font Expressions" and "Follow your Arrow" sets.
9. Finally I color the images. I use Pastel Pencils for the first one...
... and colored pencils for the second.
Thank you for stopping by today!!!
xx Susanne.
