The card above is for the Try a New Technique Challenge over at SCS link HERE - Paint Your Stamps. 

​The Clean and Simple Challenge over at SCS link HERE - Glittery Sentiments. 

The Color Combinations Challenge over at SCS link HERE - Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Pacific Point or similar colors. Color swatch picture opposite. 

Picture
The background to the card image and also the inside of the card was created by doing a watercolor wash with SU Wild Wasabi on the bottom, Marina Mist in the middle and the darker Pacific Point at the top.
​I took a mop brush that held a fair amount of water and wet a piece of watercolor paper, I then brushed some of the green wash on then some of the light blue letting them run into each other and lastly the darker blue allowing them to run into the other colours.
I don't have good quality watercolor paper so have to be careful not to over wet the paper, just enough so that the paint will run and blend smoothly. 

Picture
Better quality paper will allow you to use more water however I achieved the same result just had to have a practical run first, which became the insert paper.

Once I had the backgrounds done I took my SU Stampin Write markers Real Red and Wild Wasabi and colored the stamp. I then activated the ink by misting the stamp with water and a Mini Mister (this gives a very fine mist) one squirt is enough.

I used a Copic Spica pen - red to highlight a few of the little dots around the flower heads and cut out the Hugs greeting from SU Glimmer paper first going over it with the Marina Mist marker.


Picture
The base of the card was cut to size and then the front was dry embossed with a cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. 

Supplies and accessories used to make this card are;
Stamps: Stampendous - M217 Dandie Trio
Papers: X-Press It Blending Card, Watercolor paper, SU Glimmer Paper Silver.

I think your watercolor wash is beautiful! The flowers stamped over are very pretty and I just love the Swiss dots embossing folder. TFS!
