New Watercolors
Anyway, on to the Prima watercolors: Set one is The Classics. I could have done without the gray and white, possibly the black too, but they do take some work and skills to mix. The second set I got is the Tropical set. I decided to mix blue and red to make purple, not that there isn't a purple in the set, but I just actually felt like seeing how they mix. Well, when I added the red to the blue, I got red and than I added a tick more blue and the whole thing turned blue. I eventually did get a purpleish color from my mixing, that's why I said maybe on the black. I don't know if you could get mud from these if you wanted to. Now, I know I haven't been watercoloring for a very long time and generally don't mix colors because I like to get the most colors that I can and why have a set of 12 colors if you aren't going to use them. If you are only going to use the three or 6 basics why buy a bigger set. Anyway, that is just the way I think of it. However, every once and a while I want to play with color mixing just for fun. So the truth is, I don't understand how this weirdness happened. I do have a basic knowledge of color theory and I am positive that when you drop red into blue you should get something resembling a purple depending on how much of blue or red you add, not the last color that you added. Once I finally got something resembling a purple, as the color started to dry, the grains of color started to separate. I should have gotten a picture of that to share, but I didn't think of it. I just sprayed the little bit I had left on my palette and let it drip down. Now I have nothing more than a cool red color.
I hope you are having wonderful creative days. As we enter this holiday season, don't forget to take time for yourself.

Steam Pumpkin
I just recently got this handsome Steam Pumpkin stamps from Stampendous. I did this on watercolor paper that I deckled the edges by running a wet brush along the edge of a metal ruler. Let it have a few seconds for the water to soak in and then hold the ruler in your left hand and pull the paper towards you wuth your right hand. I used the Perfect Craft Ruler to do this nd it made it very easy. No slipping or sliding as it locks the paper in place. This card was mounted on a chocolate brown, orange and deep sea blue all Star Dream card stocks.
I had mixed up a pallet of Pearl-ex to use as watercolors and used those on the metal pieces of these cards. I had done 2 cards in watercolor but I can't find the other one. In these pictures I have tried to show off the sparkle.
