I am not a painter. I never have been. I love how Distress Markers make it look like you have been watercoloring for years. I started making this card simply by playing with the little kid set of watercolors I have had forever. I used shades of blue and purple. I just kept layering them to deepen the color. I dried it between layers and then blotted here and there.
I stamped my background image and then set it aside. I stamped the main image using Archival ink on watercolor paper. I used my Distress Markers and the watercolors to paint. I used my waterbrush to do all the detail.
I used plain white cardstock and my latticework stencil to make the body of the card. Broken China and Black Soot Distress markers in the spritzer made a light background.
I added a flower from my stash when I was on my Tattered Floral kick.
You'd never know I wasn't a painter ;)
What have you been crafting?
