#the100dayproject : 51/100
Posted by Kerry Wills on
i began with a blank watercolor canvas and using two shades of distress ink, i watercolored the background, creating an ombre fade. i know i've mentioned it before but the way that distress inks blend together - in any form - just amazes me. this time i used salty ocean and blueprint sketch. there's multiple layers of paint building up to the end result.

#the100dayproject : 50/100 - halfway baby!
Posted by Kerry Wills on
holy crap on a cracker i made it! only halfway, but still! i think i have only tried this challenge once and if i'm not mistaken, i got about four days in before i couldn't keep up. the "rules" [if you can call them that] say that it doesn't have to be consecutive days, but come on, it just makes sense!

this might be the first card that i've made during this challenge with the color swatch where i haven't used every color of ink. i decided to take a slightly different route and so i began with four shades of brown ink and one olive-greeny ink that was similar to the saffron spice. i used distress inks and i blended them together to create my background panel by watercoloring. each card of the four that i made is slightly different and i love that!
