Multiple Layer Watercolor Petals | Color Combos with Crystal

January 1, 2019 - by Crystal Thompson

Multiple Layer Watercolor Petals | Color Combos with Crystal

Happy New Year! We are kicking off 2019 with a colorful bang for this Color Combos with Crystal. Today’s color selections are light purple, dark purple, Red or Dark Pink & a light blue. 

Watercoloring can seem so intimidating at times, and I wanted to use 4 colors to layer over each other to create a very deep and bright flower.

The matching cardstock selections really make the flowers from I am with You pop and stand out.

To make this card:

  1. Trim watercolor cardstock, purple cardstock and blue.
  2. Stamp the watercolor paper with the sentiment from I am with You in black watercolor friendly ink.
  3. Stamp the flowers from I am with you in the same ink as #3.
  4. Begin with a light wash of purple over the entire card.
  5. Allow time to dry in between layers.
  6. Layer on a wash of blue. starting at the bottom tip of the floral and bring the brush up.
  7. With the pink, repeat step 6.
  8. Once we have achieved the level of color and layers, we will place the strop of blue behind the watercolor panel and add foam.
  9. Place this over the purple cardstock, then add the whole thing to a card base.
  10. Embellish!

Watercoloring can be a tad difficult to explain, so please do check out my tutorial video on the whole layering process.
