Watercolor Flower Jar Card + Mistake Correction

For Watercolor Wednesday, I am sharing a card with flower jar watercolor and with a way to correct a mistake.

Sentiment:  Do what makes you happy.


This was first heat embossed in black and then watercolor was added for color.  There was a section of the splatters that I wanted to correct.  So, I share an easy fix for mistake correction as well.

The full article and tutorial are up on the Unity blog.

I also made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Watercolor Flower Jar Card + Mistake Correction

By Gaylynn Martling for Unity’s Watercolor Wednesday
(See also the video tutorial for this project.)

Prior to embossing, add powder to watercolor paper.  This prevents stray embossing powder.
Sometimes, I also use a dry brush to remove excess embossing powder before heat setting.
On the embossed stamping, add watercolor layers.  I repeated all layers to add dimension, then I heat set.
The stamping was masked using the stamp backing and repositionable adhesive.  Splatters were added.
Finally, I corrected a stray splatter by adding more color and also by covering that small section with a die-cut butterfly.

Here is another look.

Supplies:  Unity Stamp Co. Gather Love and Original Misti, Altenew watercolor half pans, Ranger watercolor paper, VersaMark, black embossing powder, My Creative Time dies, Winnie and Walter dies, foam tape, heat tool and adhesive gems.
