Watercolour Wednesday - Christmas Friends

I really had great fun with today's watercolour card! I started with a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolour Card 12.5 cm by 9cm, I knew it was going to be much smaller than a C6 mat and that was fine. Using Versamark ink, I stamped the reindeer from the Christmas Friends stamp set onto the card using my stamp positioner. I inked it up a few times to make sure that the ink was all over. I then poured white embossing powder and heat set it using my heat tool. Then using a watercolour tray, I added some drops of Reinker in 4 different colours and watered each colour well. Then starting with the blue of Balmy Blue, I brushed the colour several times across the piece of card. Then the pink of Bubble Bath, orange of Calypso Coral and finally yellow of Daffodil Delight. The reindeer looked cool but I wanted him to look more realistic. Using the Calypso Coral, watered down ink, I added some of the ink onto the reindeer and the pink of the bubble bath for his skates. I really just played and enjoyed the crazy result too. 

Once it was dry, I added it to a Calypso Coral mat and then onto Balmy Blue card. Inside the white mat was added to Balmy Blue mat and adhered inside the white card base. I stamped the Owl on the inside of the card and coloured in using my Stampin' Blends pens.
