This week’s Papertrey Ink Make It Monday (#189) is titled “Impression Line Water Coloring”. The challenge is to use a cover plate (I don’t own any) to emboss, and then to watercolor the embossed image.
I embossed Papertrey Ink’s menorah inside a rectangle. The image is a bit small for this technique, but overall I am pleased with the result.
I got to use my new Kuretake Watercolor Paints – a splurge after a big project was recently completed.
Supplies: Stamp – Papertrey Ink, paper – LCI Paper Royal, Papertrey Ink White, ink – VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Papertrey Ink (menorah), Spellbinders (rectangle), Kuretake Watercolors, embossing powder – Ranger Liquid Platinum.
