The Rosetree

I bought the Rosetree set from Chocolate Baroque at the end of last year. I decided to try combining the tree image with watercolour stamping and the current CB colour challenge ( lemon, lime, pink and turqoise).

I coloured the stamps with the corners of my Distress mini ink pads. I started with the yellow flower centers, added pink around them and green for the leaves. Watercolour stamping works best with solid stamps, I ended up colouring the tree with a brush after the stamping was dry. I used an ink blender tool to add turqoise to the sky. To keep up with the watercolour effect, I covered the earlier images and spritzed some water on the otherwise too even sky, which caused the ink to run.
