Hope Your Day Is A Splash

Hello everyone!!  It's Laurie from It's All Cut and Die.  I'm here to share a little no-line watercoloring with you using an image from the fabulous new stamp set, .  This set is full of super adorable, whimsical images that are majorly fun to color!!!

I'm a rookie when it comes to watercolour, never mind NO-LINE watercolour!!  So, looking back I probably should have used a simpler image to use this technique on.  But I desperately wanted to use this mermaid!!!  This took me probably an hour and a half to color but in the end, I was pretty happy with the results :)



After I was done with the colouring, I die cut the panel as well as a blue cardstock panel using the Fancy Frames dies.  I used my paper trimmer to cut just up to the image then fussy cut around her.  I masked of her lower portion and did some simple ink blending to somewhat represent sand/grass. I die cut 3 clouds from the Sky is the Limit stamp/ die set and adhered those to the blue panel.  I used foam adhesive to mount the focal panel.  And although it's hard to tell in the photos, I used my Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter brush for some sparkle!!  To finish the card off, I used a sprinkling of the Fairy Dust Sequin Mix.



Hope you enjoyed and are able to check out these fabulous new stamps!!

Here are all the products I used:





Hope you have an amazing day!!
