Colour Dare Challenge #346 at least 3 colours

This week's challenge Colour Dare #346. 

LOC Choose at least 3 Colors from the above colour photo - Candy Apple, Smoothie, New England Ivy, Linen, Lagoon and Sapphire. 

Guidelines on Neutrals:  Black, White, and Neutrals are free to use.

You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #346 and add your entry.

I chose Linen, Lagoon & Sapphire with a pop of Candy Apple. I got some Linen Cardstock and stamped on the beautiful cake from the It's Your Day to Sparkle—June Stamp of the Month (shown below). 

Then I pulled out my Sapphire Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and my Waterbrush—Medium Round  and used the Sapphire ink in the lid of the ink to paint the main part of the cake. 

Then I used the waterbrush to paint the leaves with Lagoon Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. 

Then the red roses (Candy Apple red) with the Shimmer Brush—Red. 

After I had finished painting, I matted the linen cardstock with Lagoon Cardstock and Sapphire Cardstock. 

My finished card is below. Very happy with how it turned out.

Watercolour Painting with Ink

Water Colour Painting with Inks. 

I was at my weekly card class and I had my inks and my Waterbrush—Small Round, Waterbrush—Medium Round and Waterbrush—Medium Flat but forgot to bring my Watercolor Paints palette. Never fear, I remembered that I could use my ink to PAINT!

Using the older style ink pad Thistle Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad (As shown Below), I pressed them together to get ink on the lid. This is the same process with the newer ink pads as per the below Emerald Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad as well. Get some ink onto the lid of the pads to create a paint pad. 

I stamped with Black Memento™ Ink Pad with the stamp of the month Hello Foxy from June 2017 - see my blog post HERE on that month.

I used my water brushes that was filled with water and painted with Thistle Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and Emerald Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad (one old and one new). 

I used some Thistle embossed Cardstock (from the older Whimsy Fundamentals pack) and some LOVE paper from the new Whimsy Fundamentals pack paper to finish my card and I was really happy with this one. It was simple and effective. 

You can get 12" × 12" Thistle Cardstock in the Whimsy Cardstock Combo Pack.
