Today, I’m sharing One Card with Three Techniques used to Create a Watercolour Beach scene with Masking & Mirror stamping. Using Masking and the Mirror technique we can give the Flower child a Beach Adventure on a slimline card base. Ad
Visual Supply list below.
The image is created on a piece of Watercolor cardstock that is 3 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. The Flower Child image is stamped with Versamark in and covered in Walnut stain distress glaze. A soft brush is used to remove the bottom of the image that will be in the water. A mask for the flower child is created by stamping on masking sheets and then fussy cutting and placing over the heat embossed image. The grass from the Sea you soon set is stamped over the masked image with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with Peeled Paint distress glaze. The water ripples are stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Reflections to the girl and grass are added to the water using betterpress ink on the stamp, stamping onto acetate and then pressing the acetate onto the watercolor cardstock. This step needs to be done quickly as the betterpress ink will dry quickly on the acetate. We only need some of the ink to transfer to get the suggestion of the reflection on the water. We need to use an ink that will not move when we watercolour the water. The image is watercolored using Distress ink pad refills and Opal blush distress ink is rubbed onto the water after its watercolored to add some fun shimmer. Extra texture is added to the flowers and water ripples with stickles and Glossy accents are added to the eyes for glossy domed dimension.
The image is framed by rubbing a versamark pad on the edge and dipping in Walnut stain distres glaze before heat embossing to set the embossing powder in place. The image is then added to a 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ slimline card base.
