This close up of the technique highlights masking the main image, today it's Poppy Bouquet, and ink directly over a stencil onto the watercolor paper.
Here is the list of supplies for the project:
- Poppy Bouquet
- Dream Words Stencil
- Color Bursts Brights (all colors) plus Terre Verte in Color Bursts Earthtones pack
- Watercolor Paper
- Waterproof Black Ink Pad
- Watermark or Embossing Ink Pad
- White Embossing Powder
- Sticky Note or masking material
- Paint Palette
- Watercolor Brushes
- Masking Tape
- Set up a palette that has wells with Colorburst colors that are diluted with water. Violet, Lemon Yellow, Orange, Phthalo Green and Terre Vert were used.
- Stamp Poppy Bouquet with waterproof ink onto watercolor paper. Set aside.
- Stamp Poppy Bouquet onto sticky notes, as many to cover image, and trim out.
- Place sticky notes on the colored image and tape Dream Words Stencil over the masked image.
- Firmly press watermark or embossing ink pad directly on the stencil then pull stencil and mask away from paper.
- Heat emboss with white embossing powder. Tip: Use a dry watercolor brush to whisk away any powder that may have clung to the image.
- With a ruler and pencil draw a faint line on the upper and lower half of the paper parallel to the first embossed stencil to help align the stencil for two more embosses.
- The line spacing on Dream Words is enough to stencil in the space between each line. Position so it fits between the first embossed stencil.
- Repeat taping the stencil, inking and embossing the bottom as well as the top half of the paper.
- Now it's time to paint over the embossed stencil. The example used Ultramarine Blue and Violet.
