The challenge is... Crinkled Watercolors!

You can see the original tutorial HERE

For this technique you will need:

watercolors (or a pigment powder like Color Burst)

watercolor paper

paint brush

white tissue (the type you would use for gift wrap)

a paint palette (or other non porous surface)

I used Color Burst for my paint. I added a bit of powder to a palette.

I added a few drops of water.

Using a wet paintbrush I added my paints to the watercolor paper in a random pattern. One color at a time, rinsing my brush between colors.

While the paint is still wet place crumpled tissue on top and move it around a bit so you get wrinkles. Leave tissue on until paint is totally dry. I didn't time this... but give it a good half hour to dry.

When dry you'll be left with some pretty textures.

Supplies used:

Stamps Swirl Turtle, Watermelon Summer Set

MISTI

Nuvo Glitter Markers (directly on my stamps!),

Nuvo Glitter Drops

Color Burst

Watercolor paper

Paint Brush

How about a discount?

Have a great day!
