Northwoods Peace- January Nature Challenge
Happy Thursday crafters! Echo here from Stamp N Ground. I am hosting the January Nature Challenge over on the Unity Show N Tell Facebook group. All things nature- flower, trees, and animals. Today I am sharing a watercolor northern lights technique. I made a video tutorial using watercolors with Northwoods Peace and Heart of Christmas stamp kits.
So, I normally do a galaxy/northern light backgrounds with distress inks. I felt a bit adventurous today. The result was trying watercolors for this background. Maybe it’s all these nature scenes getting my creative juices flowing! Enjoy the video.
