Watercolour and Masking Techniques with Wetlands and Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Sets

We made these cards at a Watercolour Class a while ago. I discovered them in my Drafts and realised that I had never published them so here they are. I have used the Wetlands Stamp Set in both of them. This stamp set has been very popular with my customers. Possibly this is because I live on the Wirral Peninsular and we get lots of migratory birds stopping off in Spring and Autumn,                                                                    I

used an Aquapainter to colour in the sea and sand in the top card. I then stamped the birds on top using Stazon Ink so that the image would not bleed.                                                                                     

In the second card I used a masking technique so that the goose would be standing in front of the grass.

I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to get the brown ink splashes in the background. The Decorative

Label Punch, a Naturals Designer Button and some Baker's Twine finished the card off.
