The
Hero Arts blog had a wonderful tutorial regarding watercoloring with Distress Paints. I have never tried actually "painting" with them... spritzing, stamping, and antiquing with them, yes...but to actually use a brush to paint an image, no. So, I decided to go one step further, and try to make a stained glass effect on vellum with them. It worked pretty well!
Here's the
Skipping Stones sketch for this week!
Skipping Stones also makes the perfect dragonfly image for me to practice with! I stamped onto vellum with Staz-On and let it dry thoroughly. Then I simply applied a tiny bit of Distress Ink to the wings, and took my finger and spread it around a bit. ( Yes, my fingers are 3 shades of reds, blues, and greens now!) But I really like the effect! Oh, and I also spritzed the final result with the tiniest amount of gold Glimmer Mist.
It made the wings curl just slightly, and added the delicate look to the wings of the dragonfly.
I am going to be entering this one for sure!
Supplies:
Cardstock; Bazzill
Paper: DCWV, Doodlin'
Stamps: Skipping Stones, and Hero Arts (Travel Journal)
