Recipe:
Stamps: Canvas, Silly Sealife, Amazing to Zany
Paper: Black (yeeees, again), Eggplant Envy, Glossy white
Ink: Basic Black dye, Versamark, CTMH Dutch Blue
Accessories: Markers: Eggplant Envy, Bordering Blue; Cuttlebug D'Vine embossing folder, circle punch, Black gingham ribbon, Black polka dot ribbon, Dimensionals, water brush
Techniques: watercoloring
I've been wanting to do another Silly Sealife image in watercolor ever since I did the whale. So here's the octopus. :)
On glossy white cardstock I stamped in black dye ink. After it dried, I used my Eggplant Envy marker for the reddish-purple parts and a CTMH ink call Dutch Blue for the bluer areas. I used the Bordering Blue marker for the shadows. I just kept adding and building and building and adding, blending with the water brush as I went. I left an area almost completely unpainted for the shine on the head, but I did put a slight amount of the blue there so it wouldn't be too stark. I built up the lower areas a bit darker to give some roundness to the image.
If you've never tried watercoloring, give it a go. It can be such fun!
