Hello Friends,
The Stay Crafty challenge for August is watercolor. Once again, I created this shimmery and colourful panel using soap bubble art. With great difficulty, I managed to capture the shimmer in the last picture with different lighting.
Products used:
#heroarts sentiment die, watercolors, gold acrylic paint & tiny punched circles for bling.
The bubbles were made by blowing into the soap solution with a straw, gently transferring them onto watercolour paper, then touching the bubbles with colour. This time, it was done in layers, so the colors overlapped & the final layer was bubbles with gold acrylic paint, which, besides giving the shine, worked as a fixative.
Challenges entered:
#staycrafty - watercolor background
#sunbirdsparkreate - make it shine
#colorfuloptions - vibrant colors
#paperfunday - anything goes
#wordartwednesday - anything goes
Have a great day.
Leanne

Wow = this is amazing Leanne - loving your bubble backgrounds, and the gold shimmer can be seen. Thanks for the tip about layering the colours by letting things dry between applications

Fantastic card, Leanne! I love your watercoloring technique with the bubbles! I see the gold in there too. What a clever idea! It pairs perfectly with the glittery sentiment and gold dots too. Definitely a "Wowza" card! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We really appreciate you! :)
Fantastic water technique! I actually learned this technique at a Hero Arts mixed media course. Adding the gold is such a nice touch! Beautiful colours and card. Thank you for joining the challenge at A Blog Named Hero! ❤️
