Hi, crafty friends! Today I have a one-layer watercolor card to share with you all featuring the beautiful Wallpaper Art Stamp Set. Actually, this is the card I created for the Altenew Create & Take at Simon Says Create 2019 which was happened a couple of weeks ago.
I led the Make & Takes on 3/115/2019 showcasing new products from Altenew. I had so much fun meeting new people and creating watercolor cards with them. It was also great seeing some of my favorite people and hanging out with them.
By the way, my dear friend Lisa Spangler and my husband helped me with cutting watercolor papers and stamping the images for 200 people so they just can enjoy watercoloring at the Make & Take table.
For my watercolor card, I started by stamping the large floral image from the Wallpaper Art Stamp Set with Permanent Black Ink on a A2 size Arches cold pressed watercolor paper.
Then I stamped the leaves from the Wallpaper Art Stamp Set after masking off the floral image with a full adhesive post-it note.
Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Crafty Life Stamp Set with Permanent Black Ink above the floral stamped image.
Don’t you just love the sentiment “A day of crafting is just what the doctor ordered.”? Jennifer McGuire suggested this sentiment to me when I was designing the Crafty Life Stamp Set last year.
Then I colored my images with the Watercolor Brush Markers – Tropical Fiesta Set and Watercolor Brush – Fine. FYI, I stamped each image 2-3 times to make sure I got a nice crisp impression using my mini MISTI Stamping Tool.
FYI, here is the list of the colors I used for watercoloring:
- Flower: Purple Wine, Crimson, Sunkissed, Fresh Lemon
- Leaves: Sweet Leaf, Lime, Fresh Lemon
- Center: Paper Bag, Fresh Lemon
For the first a few petals, I applied the color straight from the watercolor brush markers toward the bottom of each petal and blend in the color with a watercolor brush.
But it was hard to control the amount of ink came out from the marker, so I decided to scribble my watercolor brush marker on the watercolor palette first and pick up the color with my watercolor brush.
I applied the color toward the bottom of each petal and the areas where two petals meet together to indicate the shading areas. Then I took my watercolor brush and pulled the color out from the darker stroke.
To create a gradient look of the color on my petals, I removed the ink from my watercolor brush and wipe off the excess ink using a paper towel in between before I pulled out the color. You can go over the image to diffuse the color or to add more color. 
After my coloring was done, I mounted my watercolor panel on the A2 sized top folding card base using double-sided tape. Please note that I intentionally left some white areas to indicate the highlights on the petals.
To add interest on my background, I splattered the background with Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers after covering my images with post-it notes to protect them from the splatters.
You can also add dots using a colored pen to create a look of the controlled splatters if you are not good at creating splatters.
To enhance the black color on the leaves, I colored them with Altenew Artist Marker – Jet Black. I finished off my card by adding some tiny dots on the center of my flower using a white gel pen.
