Stacked Turtles

 Hi  - Dawn here to share a watercoloured card using stamps from our sponsor this month 

Art Impressions 

Our theme for the month is Watercolours - Real or Faux.    Art Impressions will be giving our winner a $25 gift card. Thank you, Art Impressions for your generosity.

I used Art Impressions Turtle Stackers stamp set and stamped onto some Mixed Media paper.  I used Onxy Black ink and clear embossed it.  This helps keep the watercolour in the right spots.  I used Altenew Woodless Watercolour pencils to add my watercolouring.  They are so easy to use, scribble some colour and the use a paintbrush with blend.  I decided to make my turtles in rainbow colours!  Something a little bit fun!  I die cut the panel and the matting panel with Waffle Flower Deckled Frame dies.  Added some blue watercolour splatters and added some homemade enamel dots with Spectrum Noir sparkle pen on them.   I also added the sparkle pen onto the turtle shells.  

Do come and join us with your watercolour (real or faux) projects  Here
