Sunrise, Sunset – Inkspirations #65

Posted on April 8, 2011 by artisticavenger

Yes, another challenge and another embossing technique! Today I’m showcasing the newest sketch challenge on the Inkspirations Challenge blog and the embossing technique, watercolour wash. Here is the sketch:

So how do you watercolour wash? I embossed the image from Just Believe with white embossing powder on Watercolour paper. I then took a coordinating colour palette of Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry and used my Aquapainter to paint them over the embossed image. Nice huh?

Okay, let’s see what you’ve got! Head on over to Inkspirations Challenge Blog and play along! Need more inspiration? Check out what the rest of the Design Team has come up with!

This is totally AWESOME!!!! I sooo love that look you’ve achieved and the detail with the embossing and the tiny butterflies is soooo pretty!!! then the paper behind looks like it’s been crimped! I LOVE IT!!! So much so I decided to give the tech a whirl too, hope you like my take on it! Thanks heaps for sharing!!!
