Feathers

I've been wanting to try Kylie's watercolor technique

and finally took the plunge.

I used a small almost square acrylic block and inked it with 

Pool Party right from the inkpad, spritzed with water and

pressed onto some watercolor paper.

I spritzed the paper some more and dried.

Did the same thing with Crumb Cake ink.

Stamped and die cut some feathers to "hang" over the colored block.

Two of the feathers were stamped with Crumb Cake ink on Whisper White Scraps.

The 3rd feather was stamped with Whisper White ink and heat embossed.

I used the February sketch from Happy Little Stampers

  

Why not give this a try?

I'll confess this was my second try. The first was trashed!

I was really glad I tried again.

Also at Happy Little Stampers is Loll's CAS Challenge

I hope that embossed feather will be enough to get me in.

And the snippets I used for the feathers will get me into

Pixies Snippet Playground.

I got the idea to use the 4 blocks from this card by Jean Manis.

She's the Featured Stamper this week over at Splitcoaststampers.

Some of the Papercrafters came over this morning to make Valentines.

Here is what we did.

Some more are coming tomorrow to do the same.

What fun!

Thanks for the visit.

Enjoy!
