Watercolor Class Day 11 - Thanks, Tim!

Tim Holtz had a video for us on Day 11 about using the negative space of a stencil to create a neat watercolor background.  I didn't have mini Distress Inks but sponging it worked just fine.  Note to self:  spritz only enough water for the ink to bead up; more water = muddy mess.  Oh, also, press and dab the paper towel; don't sweep it across the stencil as you pick up the excess ink while pressing down to transfer the color!!!

This was a very quick and fun way to stretch your inks and stencils.  Who doesn't like that?

The Details:  Heidi Swapp stencil, Tim Holtz watercolor paper and Distress Inks, Hero Arts sentiment, star sequins, Versafine onyx ink, Pop Tone black licorice cardstock, Glossy Accents as glue

I'm entering this in Inkspirational #56 Photo Challenge (colors & uplifting feel), Curtain Call Pajama Party (colors, patterns and fun feel), Jellypark Bold & Bright

    I love this Toni, the way the colours fade at the edges looks great and then the strong, bold sentiment just shines. Thanks for joining us at Ink
