Stretch Your Stamps, Day 9

Day 9 of the online card class used outline stamps. Shari Carroll posted a wowzer of a card. She created a scene using lots of masking and watercolors on the images. I've never water colored a whole card, but I thought I'd give it a try. This card won't be going in my box for OWH. I need to practice more!


Now that I've finished it, I can see clearly where I need to make improvements, but it was a good first attempt. That's what I like about these online classes, they are a challenge in many ways.

  2. I think it turned out really well for a first try. Watercoloring is not my favorite thing to do, it always ends up looking blotchy.

    PS - I am through with your stamp and will bring it to the shop or we can meet somewhere next week if you have time. Are you going to the W-S convention on Saturday?

  3. I like it. The use of Glossy Accents is a nice touch.
    If you won't send the card blank, definitely write a note and send it as an Any Hero card. The scene reminds me of fall around my house and I'm sure a hero would feel the same.

  5. Great first attempt Dixie!! If I goof on my coloring or painting, sometimes I run it through the Sizzix folder that makes it look like crosstitch - and it hides the fact that I don't color large areas well :) :) :) Good for you trying something totally new!
