Didn't Work too Well!!
I saw a few beautiful cards on the web that were created using the Reflection Technique. I watched a video of this technique in which watercolor pencils were used. I wanted to accomplish the technique using Stampin' Up ink and an aqua painter. Well, the photo with purple flowers are two of the better attempts out of I do not even know how many attempts! The two completed cards are the best attempts~~but I still need some practice~~did I say some? I was finally doing ok with water coloring the tulips as if they were laying on their side with their reflection in a puddle of water. But the reflections are too dark. And then, when I swipe across the reflections with white paint, the swipe is just to wide. It is always a challenge to try something new, but for some reason I am having a real problem with the Reflection Technique. It is a good thing I purchased water color paper when Michael's had a buy two, get one free sale!!! I think I need to watch a few more videos~~lol! When I get the hang of it, we will do this technique in a class. Have a great day!
I am married (50 years now~~oh my!) and have two children:
Jen and Matt. Jen and her husband blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter who is now 19 years old. I am also a "grandma" to five dogs, 2 birds and more! My dog, Charlie, is our spoiled Shihtzu and I have a cute little parrotlet, Nipper, that is 8 years old.
