Stained Tags booklets Step 2

Nov 21, 2007 23:03


This is the Second step of the ART TAG BOOKLET we are putting together at The Artists Circles. We were to take watercolors and do a wash on three of the tags.  I figured since I had about thirty cards I could afford to play a bit. The following are the results of that experimentation:

This set I used plain cheap watercolors that my son had in his art box. I dabbed random colors around or splattered them with color from the brush. Oh and I found that the watercolors bled better (see row 1) when I wet the tag slightly before applying the watercolors.




This set is the set I used food coloring on. It made for a pretty vibrant coloring. Warning though if your food coloring is made from vegetable oil it may fade. These were not made from vegetable oil so I am confident from past uses with food coloring that they will not fade.
