Dragonfly Thank You

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Today's project shows a beginners watercolor card that look hard, but really is easy to do!! Grab some watercolor paper, ink and your water painter and lets get creating!

To achieve this background, start with a piece

of fluid 100 watercolor paper and Just Jade ink. 

Squeeze the water to fully saturate your water painter brush.

Pick up the ink from the lid of the ink pad and begin painting

the ink onto the paper. The key is to use enough water

to make the ink bleed over the paper. Once you are satisfied

with your panel, let it dry completely. Once dried, add more ink to your water 

painter and lightly tap the ink over the panel to add ink

speckles. It's really that easy! Keep in mind when doing this, no two

will ever be exactly the same - that's the beauty of watercolor! 

I used the same technique for the dragonfly. I used Misty Moonlight,

Magenta Madness and Smoky Slate inks. Once the paper was dry,

I stamped the dragonfly on top using Evening Evergreen ink

and punched using the dragonfly punch.
