I made this simple feather card using PTI's Feather Finery which definitely has not gotten as much ink lately. I used two different shades of purple but before I stamped it, I sprayed the stamp with a mist of water to diffuse the colors. I panicked a little after I stamped because I forgot to use watercolor paper so there were pools of ink on my card stock after I stamped. Thank goodness for my heat gun which dried it up quickly before the paper had a chance to warp. For a little bit of texture without adding another layer, I heat embossed the dots over the watercolor feathers in a charcoal grey.
I was inspired to add water to my feathers by the newly created Virginia's View Challenge (Congrats Virginia! I think your new challenge blog is gonna be a hit!) and the One-Layer Simplicity challenge. I wanted to pair watercolor and feathers in a different way than I did for the card set I made for the PTI February Blog Hop.
I've been having fun with watercolors lately so I'm loving this current trend. I love that watercolors don't have to be so precise and they looks so 'artsy' without trying too hard. Thanks for taking a look.
