Coloring outside the lines

 

Do you have a rebellious side? 

Me, not so much. 

You'll never find me on a bungee jump. 

I don't have a need for speed. 

While I'm sure the view and the experience is fantastic, I won't be booking any trips to Nepal to climb Mt. Everest. 

While others may live for adventure, I let my wild side out while I'm creating. Now, I don't go crazy and shoot color out of a paint gun, roll around with my body covered in paint,  or throw knives at paint filled, suspended balloons. 

 

But sometimes, it's nice to break the rules a little bit.

 

So for these cards, I stamped these images in black (the large botanical image is from Kaisercraft, the sentiments are from Hampton Art), and rather than color them in, I mixed a little water with some colored ink and splattered. Drip, drip, drop!

 

 

Now, a kindergarten teacher might encourage you to color in the lines, but me--I'm a paper art rebel.  I say "Go for it"!

 

Look for more watercolor techniques in the next issue of Scrapstreet that will be posted on October 1st. 

I'd love to see your watercolor rebellious side!
