I love turning my left over watercolor paint from a painting into cards.
I will use these papers that I put my left over watercolor paint on for my Father’s day cards I will make.I love the banner, made with baker’s twine and this flag stamp (didn’t have a name on it). I made a seascape with my Derwent Inktense Watercolor pencils.I made a landscape using my Derwent Inktense Watercolor pencils. If this was a large painting I would have brought the water up to cover 1/3rd of the paper (rule of 3rds), but since this was only a card, I thought it would be o.k. to leave the existing line created when I originally put paint on the paper months ago. I love creating and using stamps, paints, baker’s twine, etc. to make fun cards. Color, paper, so much fun!These are all the materials I used to make these cards. I used Winsor Newton Cotman Chinese white watercolor to make reflections in the water. I also used my white posco pen for the sails a little. I love using my Derwent Inktense Watercolor pencils to make cards, how fun! Every time I use my Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils, I try to use a dark and lighter color for each area. I love the contrast of light and dark. A light colored thin paper was inserted and adhered to the inside of the the black paper for someone’s message.I love using my eyelets and anytime I can I will pull out my We R Memory Keepers cropadile to put my eyelets on. The Father’s Day stamp is from Recolletions and the Blessing’s stamp is from Stampabilities. I love the color of the Memento Dye Ink, Bahama Blue.
These three cards are available in my SHOP page on my website.
I hope all of the Dads, favorite Uncles, Grandpas, special friends, have a special Father’s Day!
Stay well, stay cool, and enjoy your Father’s Day,
