Doodling with Debby: Watercolored Leaf Background
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! Thanks for stopping by today! Please welcome the always amazing Debby Hughes to the blog in her monthly Doodling with Debby series for a special holiday card! Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!
Hi, this is Debby and for my Doodling With Debby feature this month I’m using a small leaf image from the One With Nature set to create a watercoloured background pattern.
On Arches Hot Pressed watercolour card I repeatedly stamped the small leaf from the One With Nature set in clear embossing ink, sprinkled with Antique Gold embossing powder and heat set.
With the pattern now complete, I attached the watercolour card to a board and using Daniel Smith watercolours I painted over each leaf using a palette of green, red, pale pink and pale aqua. The watercolours I used were:
- Green – Undersea Green mixed with Ultramarine Blue to give a beautiful Hunters Green
- Red – Pyrrol Scarlet combined with a little Undersea Green to mute the tone of the red slightly
- Pale Pink – dilute mix of Quinacridone Coral
- Pale Aqua – dilute mix of Ultramarine Turquoise
I dried the panel with a heat tool before I splattered Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine over the top and then set it aside to dry.
For the sentiment, I used the Stained Glass Greetings set and stamped the ‘Merry’ in clear embossing ink on Black card, sprinkled with White embossing powder and heat set. I used the matching die to die cut the sentiment. I also stamped, and white heat embossed a matching sentiment from the set on Lipstick Red card.
I added foam adhesive to the back of all of the elements and then attached them to a Neenah Desert Storm card base. As a finishing touch, I added a trio of Gold sequins held in place with Multi Medium Matte.
Thanks for joining me today and I will see you next time for Doodling With Debby!
