Stamplorations is hosting a fun World Watercolor Month link party in July that I wanted to play along with. I painted both the background and those little slices of watermelon using diluted distress oxides. I think the chalkboard effect of my sentiment sort of gives the card a "fruit stand" feel -- now I'm hungry for something juicy, cold, and sweet!
Supplies and Tools:
- Canson Watercolor Paper
- These colors of Distress Oxide (Ranger):
- Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, Lucky Clover, Black Soot
- Metallic Sequin Black Acrylic Paint (Folk Art)
- Joy Say It Big Series (Stamplorations)
- Brilliance Moonlight White Ink (Tsukineko)
- Versamark Watermark Ink
- White Embossing Powder
- Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (Ranger)
- Picket Fence Distress Stain (Ranger)
