Step 1
So for this one I took two panels of watercolor card stock. I started by stamping a flower on the panel, making a mask for it and the stamping around it to build a floral cluster.
Step 2
Next I stamped one of the floral images to fill the other panel completely.
Step 3
I then water colored the panel. To do that I decided how I wanted my colors to look in the background, like in this panel... I wanted vertical lines of color and on the other it was diagonal. I picked 3 colors. Again its best to pick primary colors as they mix up to make the whole rainbow.
Step 4
I followed the similar process to color the other panel, only the colors were added diagonally.
Here is a look into each card one more time...
That finishes my spotlight feature :) I hope you enjoyed it and will give this a try. Happy paper crafting!
