Color Fusers Blog Hop for June 2019

By | June 3, 2019

Welcome to the June Color Fusers Blog Hop! Each month, we have this blog hop with a different color combination. It’s so fun to see what all the designers come up with using the same colors!!! So be sure to follow along. You can see a list of all the blog hop participants at the end of this post.

I have to be honest that I was a little stumped at first. These colors are pretty far away from my typical style. But then, I remembered that I had pre-ordered the ADORABLE Over The Moon stamp set!!!! It was perfect!

I seriously fell in love when I first saw the images in this stamp set. They are so freaking cute!!! I decided to create a little moonlight scene of my sweet cow.

To create the vibrant colors in the background, I used a watercolor technique with Stampin’ Write Markers that is super easy!!! I colored Watercolor Paper with the brush end of my Blueberry Bushel and Gray Granite markers slightly smaller than the area I wanted for the end result. (Note: It’s really important to use Watercolor Paper for this technique.) Afterwards, I used an Aqua Painter to activate the ink and paint the bold watercolor washes.

Tip: Let the Blueberry Bushel ink dry before activating the Gray Granite ink so they don’t run together too much.

After the background ink dried, I held my Aqua Painter over the Watercolor Paper and tapped the barrel to splatter clear drops of water over the sky. Then, I waited 30 seconds and patted with a paper towel. The drops remove some of the ink to create “stars”.

I stamped the cow, thought bubble, and moon with Stazon ink on Watercolor Paper, and then cut them out with scissors. Afterwards, I used an Aqua Painter to watercolor them. For the “pink” on the cow’s ears and nose, I simply used Red Real ink mixed with a lot of water.

I cut the pretty border at the bottom using the new Magnolia Memories Dies!
