This post has a lot to share...

So I will start with buy only good watercolor paper.

I thought I was getting a deal with watercolor paper at Ollie's.

First off it was grey then when I went to watercolor on it...it pilled?

I had been using Canson Water Color paper with the blue cover and will never stray again!

Lawn Fawn Challenge #7...Watercolor

The base card is white linen card stock.

After water coloring the main piece with black and blues from my Koi Watercolors set I heat tool dried it.

I mixed a little water with Colorbox frost white ink and spattered the "snow" with a long detail brush.

On another piece of white card stock I stamped the tree (Lawn Fawn "joy to the woods") leaving the bottom un-stamped, cleaned the stamp thoroughly and then inked up only another trunks part and extended the size of the trees using StazOn jet black ink.

I couldn't use the die for the set so I cut them out with my craft tool.

I stamped the bird from the same set using the same ink and water colored him before cutting him out.

I glued the watercolor main piece to the card, then glued on the tree first and then the bird.

I stamped the verse from Lawn Fawn's "home for the holidays' set using the StazOn to finish the card.
