In-Direct Cocktails

I'm using another Stamps Happen image to highlight the in-direct technique with Tombows Dual Brush Pens.  For this card I used a white outline for a different look. I really like it with glasses and the dark background. I used the picture on the wooden stamp for a color guide.

1. Inked up  image with watermark ink pad and stamped onto watercolor paper, sprinkled embossing power and heat set.
2. I scribbled markers onto plastic pallet.  Used the water brush to spread water inside an embossed, then picked up color with water brush and spread color. I use a combination of dabbing and spreading color. I mixed different colors and just had fun with it.
3. I skipped over an embossed area so I would not be coloring right next to a wet area and just continued dabbing and spreading. Repeated until I colored all the glasses.
4. For the background, I laid down one coat, let it dry, then added a second coat. I wanted a lot of contrast.  I found the wide tip water brush to be more effective for larger areas, and for  getting a clean edge around the glasses and inside the boarder.
5. After it dried, I used a die cut to trim it.  Click here for a tip on getting your die cut where you want it around your image.
6. assembled layers and adhered the dew drops.

Trena, I love this card. The colors you chose are blended and so relaxing. I think that goes with wine glasses, blended wine makes you relaxed. LOL!
