Good morning crafters!!
Today I bring you the most uniquely/lovely
fun and creative page that I have made of late. And why you ask? Because I
finally dare to play with watercolors as the main element of the page!
Yaaaaaay!! I am so so so very happy with the result. For a long time I was kind
of dubitative as to whether I should try it. Because at first, the technique
can seem to be a bit difficult to master, as you really want to achieve the
right splashes as Anna Maria Wolniak does, or the ones I saw at the Toolbox
class from Studio Calico. But once you start you totally forget about
perfection and you just have fun mixing colors and water. The bending of the
page doesn’t bother me at all. But if that is something you won’t like you can
try adding a layer of gesso at first.
I chose an easy color combo: yellow-orange
and pink (and different shades of them) and tried to blend the colors just a
bit with the chevron background paper from the newest Carta Bella collection. I think it's gorgeous, that is a really good effect!
After that I completed the page with
different embellishments but all of them from the same color combo. Next to the
photo I placed a little banner to frame the tittle. And above (where the
watercolor fun is) I played with some rub-ons and dimensional stickers. I like the effect of the watercolors plus the
rub-ons because it helps you create your one background design.
Thanks for watching!
