Hello friends! It's Ashley with my last guest post for Newton's Nook this month! The time has really flown by! For my last card, I decided to try a bit of no-line watercoloring. I am very new to this technique, but I thought the snowmen from Frosty Folks would look really soft and lovely this way.
I started by stamping the Newton and snowman from Newton's Curious Christmas onto white watercolor cardstock with InkOn3 Fadeout Ink. I masked the image off, then stamped the Frosty Folks in Fadeout Ink as well so the images were layered. I then slowly watercolored everything in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. A few of the details ended up getting lost, but the soft effect is worth it, I think.
Once the watercoloring was dry, I splattered a bit of white acrylic paint over the whole piece to look like a light snowfall. I die cut it with a stitched rectangle, then added it to a piece of blue snowflake paper. I stamped the sentiment from Frosty Folks in a bright blue ink to go with the patterned paper and some of the blue watercolored spots. To finish, I added a scattering of clear snowflake sequins for some sparkle.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for having me as a guest on the blog!
Have a wonderful day!
