Set
your watercolor panel on a napkin in a cardboard box to keep the crystals from getting puffed everywhere.
The napkin collects the water.
Squiggle
a thin line of water diagonally using the aqua painter. Add yellow crystals.
Start puffing with
the Air Puffer in all directions – the main job for this puffer is for cleaning
lens, filters, musical instruments, computers, keyboards etc. The puffing creates thin tendrils of color. Mop up any water before going to the next
step. Do not use the puffer again for
any of its main jobs as there could be crystals in it.
Add a puddle of
water in the top, right hand side of the yellow. Add blue crystals.
Start puffing. Repeat for the bottom left side of the
yellow.
Add more blue if
desired in the white areas. When you are
satisfied, spritz very lightly with water and sprinkle with a few more blue and
yellow crystals. I like the look of the
undissolved crystals myself!
Once dry, run edge
of the panel thro Night of Navy ink to give the illusion of it being mounted to
cardstock.
Stamp the tops of
the die cut leaves with the sun rays from the Amazing You stamp set in
Versamark ink to give texture to the leaves.
Arrange leaves in a
pleasing manner to the front of the card.
Cut ribbon 4” long. Tie into a
knot.
Add a phrase and
some leaf images to the inside panel of the card.
Decorate an envelope
with the same leaf images.
