This week Kia is sharing this video from Emma Jane Lefebvre called No fail watercolor pumpkins seen here on YouTube. I did watch the whole video and my brain retained the I love the "white" one and the bumpy edges parts the best so, that is where I started and I liked it so well that I just made it into a simple fall card.
I did mix my "white" as very diluted black with a touch of van dyck brown. and then later I added in some greens got it "too green" and wiped some of that off with a damp brush. and I just decided to stop before I totally overworked it. I think I will be doing more of these "white" pumpkins soon, maybe a little larger. this was done with an Size 8 Brush on some Arches watercolor paper. (the back side of a failed piece)
because this is so small it did not take long to dry so I trimmed it down with an Tattered Lace Antique lace essential rectangle die and put foam tape under it. the ribbon wrapped around the end is stitched and has some bulk to it so, the tiny lili of the valley sentiment tag is just tied on that with some natural hemp string. I cut that out with scissors and used a bit of watercolor paint on the acorns on it. It was stamped on a scrap of SU soft seafoam cardstock. I recently received this pack of Brutus Monroe "Ever After" lace printed papers pack and I thought the colors of this one played well with my not really white pumpkin. The base here is some columns grey Neenah and its A6 in real life. If you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge here at SCS. Thanks for stopping by.
