Visible Image Red and Black

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped in!


I'm so enjoying using red and black this month for the

This time I added a drop of Pinkfresh Studio liquid watercolor onto
a small piece of acetate and spritzed with water before 
pressing it down onto a piece of watercolor paper.

I used a waterbrush to add a bit more water and move the
color around a bit more.

When it was completely dry, I stamped the flower, mounted it
on a black card base and added the sentiment. 


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

What a gorgeous red Bonnie and love the loose look you have given it by stamping the flower over the top of the red area when it was dry and the black card really makes it stand out beautifully, and finished perfectly with the white on black sentiment. x
