THE GREETING FARM WINTER IS HERE
A while ago I bought a few of the Versafine Clair inks, and as these inks are waterproof, I thought I’d try the Pinecone one to stamp this sweet guy from the Winter Is Here in before watercolouring. The ink pad was lovely and juicy which helped when stamping this image onto the textured Cold Pressed Watercolour Card I used. I stamped him a few times to get a good impression then ran a heat tool over the card so that the ink was fully dry before covering the image in masking fluid. This meant I could go to town with the background washes of watercolour (Rose Of Ultramarine, Indanthrone Blue, Indigo) without having to worry about getting any on him. I then dried the background layer and stamped a trio of snowflakes and a sentiment from the Winter Is Here set in clear embossing ink and white heat embossed. I added a good splatter of white gouache for falling snow and rubbed a little Star Dust Stickles over the snowflakes for a bit of sparkle.
With the background complete, I turned to watercolouring this sweet guy. I kept the colours muted and the painting simple with a couple of layers of to add shading. I then die cut the panel with a Wonky Rectangle die, mounted it on a Fog card base and accented with Pink & Main Glossy Dots.
