Learn the Magic Behind the Potted Succulent Die!
June 29, 2021
Today you will Learn the Magic Behind the Potted Succulent Die! It's quick, it's simple and it's fabulous! Check it out...
The Potted Succulent dies is pretty terrific and quite stunning in black but it's what lies behind it that shouts magic...right? Behind the die cut is a brilliant burst of color that is achieved simply by using the Water Painter and ink refills. I must tell you that the color is more intense in real life so you must try it out to see the full effect.
This background is a combination of Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink and Pumpkin Pie. As you can see by over lapping the colors a bit you soften the color line and actually blend into a combo color which can be fun to create also. Using the Water Painter and simply using circular motions we just color the entire piece of Watercolor paper---there is no prescribed order--just start in one corner and work in the three colors until the entire piece is colored.
Last week we explored a couple of other experiments...did you miss them...check them out here https://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2021/06/the-secret-to-create-that-watercolor-background-in-a-minute.html and here https://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2021/06/exploring-the-secret-of-a-using-a-watercolor-background-for-a-dramatic-card.html
