The Group of Cardmakers is trying painting on coloured cardstock. We originally intended to use acrylic paints but I ended up using gouache. I did one on kraft cs and one on blue cs.
I trimmed both painted images with pierced dot rectangle dies. The kraft one is just on a white cardbase, with some white splattering (I used acrylic paint for the splattering) and a sentiment on a white strip (that happily covers up a bit of messy painting). The blue one has a bit of white splattering and is layered on a white panel with a green sentiment, and then on a green card base.
Check out what the rest of the Group of Cardmakers and, if you're so inclined, link up a card of your own.
I'm also linking up the first card over at We Love Stamping "Red and Green" and Colorful Options "Red, White, and Green". And the second card goes to Double D "Santa and / or Snowman".
Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black robin, ? snowman
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - white, kraft, blue, and dark green cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Spellbinders pierced dot rectangle dies, gouache paints, white acrylic paint
Great work with this technique Susan. Gouache works great and I had never thought of that. I wonder if there are other painting mediums that might work for this ... maybe metallic pearl paints that are sometimes opaque??!! Anyways, thanks for the info on trying other mediums. Your cards are awesome! Love, Loll

ReplyDeleteTwo great cards Susan, I especially love the Robin, I think I'll be doing a few of these cards for next year and might do a few with birds on.
