A new challenge, a new technique (to me) and a comparison...

This will be an interesting post as I forgot it was a new month and I remembered my New Year's resolution to try and new technique every month.

I went to YouTube and typed in kraft paper as that was the last thing I had worked with.

many things came up but this one intrigued me as I never did water color on kraft paper before.

Watercolor on Kraft Card Stock

As I listened to the video I realized I had two options for the paints... Artist Loft pearlescent watercolor or Angelwings, I believe they are out of business, pearlescent watercolor.

I tried both.

I started with two kraft card stock cards and did the white embossing with Versamark ink and a verse and image from Unity Stamp Co. "...succulent salutations" set.

On to the painting...

This was the card made with the Angelwings pearlescent paints...

Alphabet Challenge...Z is for Zero Embellishments

This is the card I made with the Artist's Loft paints...

What do you think?

The only thing I noted was the depth of color was heavier with the Angelwings set.

But the fun part was trying a new technique and pulling out things that I all ready had to make it!
