Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful ladies! Here are a few cards that I've managed to finish for the Watercolor for Cardmakers class. I've done a lot of experimenting with stamps and different kinds of paper and paint, and a lot ended up in the trash! That's good though, because I am finding a few things that work for me. One of my favorite techniques so far is coloring a stamp directly with markers, stamping it onto watercolor paper, and then using a wet paintbrush to blend the colors. That's what I did for both of these hydrangea cards. I'm sure with more practice I'll get better at blending. I also liked using an acrylic block to make a frame around the image. The last card is from Day 1 of class using the Vibrant Watercolor wash technique. I can't wait to see what next week holds!
