Inspired by {Design Stack}

 This week the inspiration is headed to Design stack either their blog or Pinterest boards and I was looking through the painting section of the blog and found this colorful animals seen here. The direct link to the blue bird painting is below.

This is just a cell phone shot while it was drying and. So, the finished on a card is the bottom image here. The take-two using this tutorial Lydia made and shared for the Water coloring Wednesday challenge this week found here. The top image was the first try at this and I really liked how it looked so, I tried it again and liked the second one a little more to use as the finished piece for the Inspiration painting I found here as a jump start. I am not sure what I am going to do with the top image as I also like it and will probably do something with it.

I think this one is not so much of an impressionist version but, for the first time ever I am glad I own a fade out ink pad. ( when I bought this, I was more coloring with pencils at that time so my usual was to stamp images and haul them to work and color in the down time... so, when you open the thing and there are a lot of blank sheets of card stock that was too faint for me to see to color them I was not so thrilled with how fast they faded ha ha. so, finding out the ink is more resistant to water and the fact that when I am painting to color I stamp something right now and color right now that is a game changer for me.

I probably got a little carried away with adding brown splatters to this, and this was painted entirely from that new palette of paint I showed you the other day. so, not too shabby. the sentiment is from Hero Arts Many everyday messages set heat embossed with some liquid platinum powder on some blue linen card scrap and the painted panel is up on foam tape over the base. This one finished out at A7 in real life. The watercolor cardstock was cut with a Waffle flower A7 rectangle die and my mind has gone blank on which banner the sentiment was cut with. You can find this challenge here at SCS to play along with us.  I hope this Good Friday finds you all doing well, Thanks for stopping by.
