September 2014 Blog Hop Challenge #2

Color-recipe-3



For this card, I watercoloured Botanical Blocks peony, using PTI inks. It was a lot harder to blend the colors, and gives a different look from watercolour paints. But at least I know I used the right colours! The background is watered down  "Enchanted Evening" ink, which I added to the above Color Recipe. I used Ranger's "Liquid Platinum" embossing powder to stamp the flower as well as the sentiment, which is from "Banner Sentiments".
Thanks for looking!

  1. What an exquisite piece of watercolor art! I love the color effects! I've heard so many good things about the platinum ep - how would you compare it to the gold or silver?

  2. Ahh, the platinum ep!! Beautiful! I wonder what would happen if I mixed a little gold with silver and .... I'll get back to you on that. I love your watercolored peony. I soooo want a beautiful peony stamp and so far I've only seen skimpy peonies. But this one is full so I just might have to....stop it.

  3. Another Beauty Kathryn! I have been putting off getting that Botanical Blocks set, but if think you pushed me over the edge. Your watercolor with PTI inks is very effective. (I too just got this embossing powder and love how well it embosses.) Lovely work!

  6. Just beautiful, Kathryn. Another beauty of a watercolor, this time with re-inkers. I agree, it takes a bit of using to get them to do what you want. But your peony looks alive! Great job!
