Water Coloring With H2os

I have this post on the Classy Cards 'n Such blog today.
this week our challenge is Twinkling H2Os.
MY post there today is about "water coloring" with them.
I hope "YOU" can join us in the challenge there.

Hello Classy Friends, Diane here with you today on the Classy Cards 'n Such blog.

This week  our challenge is using Twinkling H2os...

I have a love for these little pots of "Twinkle"...

They add a perfect bit of sparkle or you can use them as I did to "water color"..

I used a Dreamweaver Wisteria stencil which was embossed onto water color paper.

To emboss a stencil, use the same stacking order you would to emboss a regular die...

I taped my stencil on first with removable tape to hold it in place to color.

For this technique I used the "Spritzer" and spritzed not only my H2os,

 but my mat as well.

you don't want your brush too wet, but you also don't want you H2os to go on too thick,

after all, this  is "water coloring"!

By dipping your brush in the H2os and then in the water on your mat, you get a mix

that is easier to move around on your image....

Just be careful not to let the color seep under the stencil...

The Twinkling H2os used for this project are:

Think Pink using the colors Courageous and Lucky Apple

Holiday Sparkle using the colors Sugar Plum and Emerald

Springtime using the colors Plum Blossom and Spanish Moss

I matted my finished water color on So Silk Fabulous Purple, this is a gorgeous paper

that I hesitated to even cover up, but it was so pretty with the Wisteria!!

The sentiment is from the Flourishes set "Always Blooming"

Thank you for visiting with me today.

I hope you will join us in our challenge this week using your H2os!!
