Online Card Class Day 2
This day has been a day from the land down under……………………………and I don’t mean Australia………………..think Dante……………the Inferno………….if you catch my drift.
Anyway, I finally got a chance to try one of the lessons from the Online Card Class day 2. I decided to do a watercolour card using Peerless water colours. Peerless watercolours are pretty neat. They have been around for over 100 years and use the same technique of saturating pieces of cardstock with the translucent colour. They even type the instructions in Old English Text. I cut off tiny squares of the cardstock leaflets and put them on a palette and spritz with water. Voila, little pools of lovely colour!
Here is the card I made using some of the tips in today’s class, provided by Dawn Woleslagle of WPlus9 stamp company.
