I didn't get a chance to watch the Day 2 videos until last night, so didn't do any water coloring yesterday. Today, the Day 3 videos were available, so I watched them this morning. As I had just received my Derwent Inktense ink pencils, I was eager to try them out, so I skipped the pan water colors for today. I'll be trying some of the techniques out for that tomorrow.
I had this idea to emboss some watercolor paper with a butterfly folder I had on hand by Darice, and then color in the design with the pencils before spritzing it with a light mist of water.
As it turned out, some of the colors bled into the background a little, and I had to use a brush to aid in the blending I had imagined.
I also wasn't happy with the blending on the largest butterfly, so I added a little more color and used water on a brush to blend it. All in all, after it dried I liked how it turned out.
I stamped a Thinking of You Sentiment from My Sentiments Exactly in Hero Arts Pool ink in the upper corner, matted it on avocado green card stock, and used foam tape to attach it to a cream colored card base.
It was pretty obvious to me that I need to practice quite a bit on my coloring with the pencils, as I don't seem to be using consistent pressure, causing some places to be darker than others.
I'll be doing some Day 2 cards with pan watercolors shortly, and probably some more watercolor pencil cards.
