As soon as I saw it advertised I signed up for the Online Card Class: Watercolor. I’ve tried nearly all the techniques from Day 1, and have four cards I’ll share here over the next few days, but today is Day 4, and the list of things I want to try is LONG! Like every other Online Card Class, this one is packed with techniques, videos, and great tips that apply to more than just watercolor. I thoroughly enjoy these classes.
My first attempt at using Distress Inks and an acrylic block to stamp some intense watercolors wasn’t a total success. I wasn’t really happy with one of the colors I chose, but when I cut the piece into strips and alternated them, I ended up with a card I like.
The die cut & stamp are from “Wonderful Words: Thank You” by Papertrey Ink, and the cardstock is Papertrey’s True Black.
I was happier with the second attempt, but I’m saving that one to post on Mother’s Day. Off to see the videos for Day 4!
The strips was an inspired way to go – your striking paper pops off the page. I feel I benefit so much whenever you take a class, that I really ought to be contributing to the cost :).
Love this Karen! I saw this class and was SO tempted to sign up, but I am over-extended with classes already and trying very hard to reign myself in and not sign up for anything new until I’m caught up with what I’m already taking. Now, of course, I’m drooling. Does this go to an Independent class after the Interactive version ends?
Great idea to cut the watercolor into strips – this looks fantastic on the black background!
so so pretty! Love the striking colours on the black!
Beautiful! I love that you salvaged a piece of watercolouring you weren’t happy with to make this gorgeous card! 🙂
Ah, yes, the chop it up and put it on black technique! I love that one!
