I was in a watercolor mood….
Today I got some extra “me” time since Sean is on a mini vacation this week. So after the gym and my PT appointment I browsed a couple stamp stores and then headed home to create. I wanted to catch up on a couple of the MFT sketch challenges that I hadn’t gotten to and I also wanted to do some watercoloring. I realized that I had never watercolored my MFT stamps before. I had always used copics and paper piecing to color them so I wanted to give it a try. I REALLY like painting them, they are soooo much fun! I’m guessing you will be seeing some more watercolored images again soon!
I really like the look of this with it’s rich colors. I used the boxer paper by basic grey as my starting point. I also wanted to give her a copper bathtub to soak in. I always love the look of a copper bathtub but I dread the thought of cleaning them! Maybe later when I have a live in maid to clean it and keep it shiny!
This cards colors were inspired by this beautiful Honey Pie paper. I am in LOVE LOVE LOVE with it! I feel that way each time cosmo cricket comes out with a new line. I started out using soft sky ink for the sky but it looked a little aqua almost so I mixed it with a little bashful blue to get the shade I wanted.
I know I had promised the finished kangaroo necklace but it’s still getting the final details on it. I’ll have it ready tomorrow!
I hope you enjoyed my journey into MFT with watercolor, I had a blast with it!
