Oh so beautiful and thank you for sharing the tips and special story! I am not a painter either. I like to use the watercolor paper now and then with TH distress ink pads though!
Beautiful!! Sounds like your having fun dabbling with water coloring and that's what creating is all about. Your doing a great job. I color outside the lines so I admire those that can paint, stamp and color.
Your water-colored background is PERFECT!!!!! And I wish I had a better die cut machine so that I could try more dies! Your card is absolutely gorgeous in so many ways! I love it!
Your watercolor background is beautiful! It's the perfect backdrop for all your fabulous die cuts and embellishments. How great that you're experimenting with new techniques. Can't wait to see all the amazing creations that will ensue!
Awesome card! Love it. The watercolouring looks great. I have coloured in stamps using watercolour paint, but I haven't tried it on a card in this manner.
Beautiful card! It's so true that sometimes you just have to do the thing you're afraid of trying. The worst that could happen is that you'll learn that it's not quite you. You're probably going to find that you like the thing you were afraid of trying.
Card made with a watercolor background. Used several dies. I'm having a lot of fun with the dies. There's such a wide assortment to choose from. They add such wonderful texture and character to projects. Don't know why I waited so long to experiment with them. Okay. That's not quite true. I'll admit. It was because I was intimidated by the die-cutting process. It "looked" complicated. But once I pushed myself out of my comfort zone to venture into this area, I found that it actually wasn't. It was just a preconception on my part that had kept me from giving it a try. And once I worked with my first two sets that one of my DDs gifted me, that's all it took. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen others' work in the gallery here and 'oohed' and 'ahhed' over their beautiful creations that involved die-cutting, wishing I could do something even half as beautiful as theirs. Fear held me back (you know, those "what-ifs"). Never let fear hold you back. You never know what you can achieve with fear leading. Just go for it! You will be pleasantly surprised at what you can achieve once you let go of your fears and take a step of courage.
I look forward to the time when I get better at my watercoloring. Is anyone else dabbling into watercoloring? I love them and am having fun experimenting with different custom colors and different techniques. I don't expect to become a pro. But as long as I'm enjoying creating things with them, that's good enough for me. I have accepted that painting is not of my gifts. My grandfather was a wonderful painter. He was the first one who sat down with me and patiently taught me how to draw a face when I was eight. Back then I wasn't really into the art and the learning process. Today I would love to be able to sit with him and ask some questions and watch him with his brushes in hand, dabbing them into the array of colors on his messy wooden palette, touching them to the canvas and working his magic and beauty! And an old saying comes to me: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Remember, you'll never know, if you never try. You can do it!
Thank you for taking the time to peek and/or your kind, lovely feedback. It is appreciated! Happy crafting! :)
