Watercolor Butterfly Card with Post-It Tape Masking

March 27, 2019 - by Gaylynn

Watercolor Butterfly Card with Post-It Tape Masking

Hi, it’s Gaylynn here with another installment of my Watercolor Wednesday series.  I am sharing a card using watercolor masking with Post-It tape and distress ink reinkers.

This is a mixed media style card.  It incorporates watercolor masking.  The watercolor area was isolated using Post-It tape as a mask.  Then watercolor was added using a mix of water with two shades of distress ink reinkers.

Sentiment:  You got this.

Watercolor Butterfly Card with Post-It Tape Masking ~ Mixed Media Style
By Gaylynn Martling for Unity’s Watercolor Wednesday
(See also the video tutorial for this project.)
Stamp onto watercolor paper.  I used Ranger archival ink in blue violet.
Mask a portion of the image using Post-It tape.  Add watercolor within the masked area.
For watercolor, I used distress ink reinkers in abandoned coral and milled lavender, mixed with water.
I lightly applied watercolor to the butterfly and to the background, then heat set.  Repeat watercolor layers as needed.
Gently peel away the Post-It tape.  Layer and embellish the card to finish.
 

Here is another look.

I made a quick video tutorial for this.

To view my other watercolor projects on the Unity blog, see Watercolor Wednesday.

Catch me next Wednesday with a new project for Unity’s Watercolor Wednesday.  Thanks so much for visiting.
