Seashells Card ~ Watercolor Wednesday at Unity

It is Summertime, and therefore, seashells are the focus of today's Watercolor Wednesday on the Unity blog.  Specifically, I share a no-line watercolor with stamping technique.

Sentiment:  Always keep a little beach day in your heart.

This is an uplifting card for any time.  It is made to look imperfect and with life-like shells.  The background netting was heat embossed in gold shimmer and the vintage typewriter sentiment was stamped.  But the seashells are made with stamping and watercolor.  Then, I fussy cut the shells to add them to the background.  I used a technique called no-line watercolor with stamping.  

The full article and tutorial are up on the Unity blog.  I also made a quick video tutorial showing the no-line watercolor process:

This is a look at the colors used to watercolor the seashells.  However, I decided to use a flat stiff brush instead of the water brush shown.

I am including this as one of the #thedailymarker30day projects during this month.

Here is a closer look.

Supplies:  Unity Stamp Co. The Ocean Is Calling {smak 1/18}, Ranger watercolor paper, embossing powder, archival ink and distress ink pads; VersaMark, gold cording, My Creative Time dies and foam tape.

Wishing you a sunny Summer.
