Veranda Level 3 CTMH Artwork

Check out this gorgeous layout and two cards which are located on page 8 of the Close To My Heart 2010 Spring Idea Book. Below are Tips & Techniques for you as well as Recipes for you to recreate these wonderful works of art!!

Tips & Techniques:
Coloring with a Waterbrush:
* Stamp image using StazOn Ink
* Using a waterbrush, squeeze out just enough water to slightly dampen brush. Touch brush directly to ink pad to pick up color. Apply a layer of color to the image, always starting in the same place. Keep in mind that the strongest intensity of ink will be where the brush first touches.
* Allow color to dry completely (use a craft heater to speed the process). Apply a second layer in a complementary color. Start in the same place and pull color towards the outside edges, being careful not to completely cover original color.
