Hello Again!
Lee Ann here, with another card for you, this one with a fall vibe. It's getting to be that time of year,
even though it may not feel like it! Once school has started, I am ready to break
out all things autumn!
Watercolor paper is the base of this panel. I started with a light wash of 4 paints then let the
paints dry. The paints I used are~
While waiting for the paint to dry, I die cut my leaf in vellum and then the skeleton of my leaf from
a berry color cardstock.
Once the wash of paint was dry, I adhered a A Colorful Life Stencil, which was spritzed lightly with Pixie Spray, applied a light wash of water to the panel and then added the same four colors of paint randomly over the stencil. Because I only used a light amount of Pixie Spray, much of the water and paint oozed under the stencil,but I decided I liked this grungier, less than perfect look.
Because of all of the intermingling of paints, I got a lot of shimmer, even though 3
of my paints were Creameez; Creameez are watercolor paints with just a hint of shimmer. Pair them with the Inklingz- they are also watercolors, but they are chock full of glorious shimmer- and you get shimmer everywhere!
I absolutely love how this panel turned out!
I die cut the painted panel, then adhered a matching cardstock strip, some black and white striped paper, the leaf, and sentiment with some gold thread, nested beneath it.
I hope you have been inspired to break out your Shimmerz Paints and all things fall!
And don't forget, the NEW Shimmerz Paints Color Kitz are in the store!
