Watercolour Wednesday - In My Heart

Hello, my card today is the 2nd attempt that I made. Using the In My Heart stamp set again today, I didn't like the first one at all so I tore it up! 

I have been crafting for a long time now and there are still cards that get torn up and thrown away! I am more pleased with the second attempt fortunately. I started with Fluid 100 watercolour paper and started by soaking it with spritzing it with water. Then using a wide brush, I brushed some watered down ink straight across the paper. I used Misty Moonlight to start and then from abour 2 thirds of the way down, I change and added watered down Mossy Meadow ink. I find that if I stamp a clear block onto the ink pad and add a few drops of water onto it, I get the colour I want.

I am pleased with the results as I wanted it to be an evening effect and a couple having a cuddle under the tree in the moonlight. I punched out a circle for the moon and added Daffodil Delight ink randomly over the circle and heavier in some places. I stamped the image with black Stazon ink pad and then carefully started to watercolour the images in. It took a while and a heat gun to try to speed up the drying process a bit.
