I have carried out quite a few steps in this card. I am very passionate about watercolour and have been doing it for years. I first began by watercolouring fabric.
Here goes for this one. The white doily has been coloured in with watercolour crayons and then with a wet paintbrush painted over so the colours run and fade. The background is metallic blue from SALT and I have bugged one side with the Swiss dots folder and the other side with the Swiss dots border. Notice the different sized dots.
The flower is a commercial one and I have punched a hole in the doily and card and stuck part of the stem through. I snipped the stem so on the back it can be flattened and some tape covers it so the stem doesn't pop out. The sentiment is a Kaisercraft wooden stamp.
Check out my other post to see another version of watercolouring doilies.
