Watercolor Picture Frame

Hello!

So I have a project to share with you today that was supposed to be a card but I loved the way the colours turned out so much that I ended up framing it to add to a shelf to my craft room:p

I will try and recreate it to actually make into a card eventually.

I used an older tree silhouette stamp I had, this particular one was from Inkadinkado. I stamped it on water color paper with black versafine ink. This is my favorite ink for more detailed images and it doesn't bleed with water coloring. As you can tell, because of the texture of the water color paper the bottom of the tree line didn't stamp properly. I was going to try and fill this in to make it more crisp
but I decided I didn't want to screw it up so I left it as is, and it kind of gave it more of the reflection look, so I'm ok with it lol.
After I stamped the main image I created my reflection area. I did that by stamping the same image on acetate and sprayed generously with water  and pressed it upside down under the trees. Once I had my image done, I just started water coloring using distress inks until I got the colors the way I wanted.

That's it for my project today. I hope you enjoyed my non card project. Once I do duplicate this and create a card with it I will certainly share!

Hope your all having a lovely week!
