Playing amongst the Stars

"Hello Mary Key here", today's theme is "Stars". I decided to create using stamps  from Carabelle Studio Background Stars, Carabelle Studio 3 Birds by Sylvie Belgrand, and using Lavinia Dinkles for my background and also for watercoloring the birds.

First, I created swatches and just spritz water onto my little panels just to see what the colors look like without adding a watercolor brush just some Dinkles and "wow" look at these pretty colors.  

The Lavinia Dinkles I will be using for my background are Blue Dragon, Blueberry and Paynes Grey, First of all, I stamped and heat embossed my birds onto watercolor paper and then added masking fluid to cover Carabelle Studio 3 Birds before adding water and colors.

I then spritz water to my watercolor paper and added by sprinkling Lavinia Dinkles Blue Dragon (top lid has a hole to put a push pin) and let the "magic" begin!

Next color, I sprinkle Lavinia Dinkles Blueberry and spritz a little more water.

Then added lastly Lavinia Dinkles Paynes Grey at each sides of my watercolor paper.


Then heat dry lightly and rubbed off the masking of the birds and this is what it looks like. I like how Lavinia Dinkles looks on the background. 


I then watercolor my birds with some Lavinia Dinkles Yellow, Deep Yellow, Burnt Orange, Sepia, Lime Divine and Pine Green. Then added Carabelle Studio Background Stars stamp and heat embossed with WOW! Opaque Bright White embossing powder. Put it all together and this is the final look of my card.


I hope you like what I created and enjoy creating, Thank you for visiting Topflight Stamps blog.
