Just had to play at the April CAS Watercolour with the them – BIRD. So I popped out a piece of 300gm watercolour paper to make a OLC and stamped a bird from the Home Sweet Home set by IO. Masking him off I also stamped and clear heat embossed a script on birds from the same set. I added water pool to create a rectangle contour and added 2 Brusho powders of Leaf Green & Turquoise. Once dry, I brushed the excess powder away and began adding Gansai white gold on the top part activating a little of the turquoise edge. To the bird’s belly I continued with the white gold and added a touch of antique gold. Since I had stamped with my Misti, I re-stamped the bird and heat embossed in gold. I added water splatters above my birdie’s head to lighten the colours and sponged the water off.
Thanks for stopping by, HUGz, Joanna

Love your brilliant blues and greens watercolored background with your water spots and text. A wonderful background for your sweet and beautiful painted and gold heat embossed bird. Love all the textures, including texture from your cold press paper. TFS my friend. Hugs…
