I fell in LOVE with this Fab Fall set. The Leaves, acorn and sentiments are stunning as is! I printed mine on plain cardstock and then tried a smooshing technique. For me, the colors absorbed into the paper too quickly so next time I'll try it on watercolor paper. This paper was also sprayed heavily with fixative, so I was thinking the colors would float on it a little more. The fixative did make the inks look a little grainy, so you will know what to expect if you try it. Still a pretty result I think!
To color the raspberry branch I used ink straight off the palette for intensity. I really love the way that turned out. I tried to let it bleed out of the lines but it absorbs so quickly that I could not achieve the look I was going for. After making the greenery green, I added golds to the center of the leaves. and then a little "Magicals" for a frost look.
I love the simplicity of this card, the art really is the standout here.
Inside I used the MHK sentiment, inserting the "MY" from another of their sets.
So now it's your turn my friend!! I know you have a bunch of ideas! My wish for you today is that you find time to spend on something you love! If that is paper crafting ~ I'll see you over at the PIP Challenges!
Wendy this is beautiful! I love the deep rich colors, they look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card, Wendy. And yes, this is a great set!! Your colors are beautiful, so rich looking! And the berries are such a gorgeous color. Nice job!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous coloring! Beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! GORGEOUSNESS, Wendy! What printer do you use that prevents the ink from bleeding (smearing) when applying water colors to it? Thanks for the inspiration and feedback. elllisdonna70@gmail.com

Hanging my head in embarrassment - I see you used alcohol inks. Sigh - I need to read more carefully before shouting my questions! LOL
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great question Donna!! I actually have tried a lot of things to keep the ink from bleeding!! I have some advise under the "digi dos and don'ts tab above or you can click the label "digi" under the post to visit my other digital creations!! Ink bleed is the most frustrating of all I think!!!!!
