Good Morning
Meet today's card...painted circles.
I tried my hand at painting some more circles with some of my favourite Distress colours.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began with a piece of Strathmore Bristol watercolour paper, a paintbrush #10, a cup of water and my Distress Oxide inks.
- I began by pressing my ink pads directly onto my Tim Holtz Glass Mat to transfer some ink there. Using a wet paint brush with no ink on it, I painted the first circle ring with water at the bottom of my card panel. By doing that first, before adding the ink, I was better able to move the inks around when I added them in multiple layers.
- The rest was pretty much straight forward. I painted a round ring shape then moved to another area of the card panel to paint another while the first one dried. *to get a good mix of the colours and to be able to blend them well, you must let each one dry before adding the next colour.* Use your heat tool to dry if you are impatient like me!
- I finished painting all the rings of the circles using the different colours seen in the photo below.
- Using a fine line markers, I doodled lines around all the circles just to give them more presence.
- I splattered the panel with my white Posca pen for more interest.
- When the panel was totally dry, I die cut the Celebrate sentiment from MFT in my Cuttlebug right from the center of the circles. I die cut the sentiment again 3 more times from white cardstock. I stacked and glued those all together and glued them back into position on the main panel.
- I stamped the sentiment strip with some Versamark ink, then white heat embossed it. I pop dotted that just below the sentiment.
- I mounted it all onto a heavy white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
