Watercoloring Tips:
- I stamp the image onto Shimmer Paper as I find this really nice for watercoloring.
- Use a wet Aqua Painter and pick up the ink from the lids of the ink pads and use a tissue to wipe off when using another colour.
- For a more saturated colour, wait to dry before adding more colour in certain areas.
The sentiment stamp is from Mixed Borders on page 123. The two-toned washed look was achieved using the using the baby-wipe technique. Fold a couple of baby wipes in half or quarters and use ink refills to ink baby wipes and use this as a makeshift ink pad. I used Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie ink refills.
