Watercolor Imprints Play Results

Here is the card I made using a print that I got playing with the Watercolor Imprints in the article from Splitcoaststampers by Dina Kowal. I spent many hours just making backgrounds that can be seen in the last post. 

All the dies used on this card are from Sue Wilson's Atlantic Ocean collection. They are:Atlantic Ocean - Azores, Atlantic Ocean - Border and Corners and Atlantic Ocean - Tag Duo

I started off playing with the Distress Oxide inks and then after seeing the article Watercolor Imprints by Dina Kowal on Splitcoaststampers I had a blast playing with this idea.

Playtime part 1

I have had these pencils for many years and never used them. They have 3 different colors of lead all mixed in one pencil. They look cool, but will I ever use them and for what? so, if I want to keep them I need to know that I will use them. So first I cut up a couple of pieces of card stock 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 and scribbled a full sheet. The colors are pretty and change on a regular. I smudged them with Gamsol and a Q-tip to blend them up.

Then I scribbled some more on top of that. Some I went over again with Gamsol and some I left.

I had done the eyes of the Peacock feathers with regular colored pencils and then skipped around using the Magic pencils. Then I used the Gamsol to blend my colors. The Magic pencils were only used on the triple feathers.

This experiment turned out interesting and fun, but I really don't see a huge coloring future with these pencils so off they go to my sale stuff.
