Wetlands Color Wash Technique featuring Aqua Painters

The washed in background of the beach and the bird silhouettes are eye catching. I thought they were sea gulls, my mom thought they were Terns (I think that was the name)...what do you think? I used the color wash technique to create the background. The key to achieving this effect is the paper used. I used Stampin' Up's watercolor paper, it does make a difference. I also love the convenience of our aqua painters (brushes), you don't need any extra supplies...such as a cup of water. ——— S U P P L I E S ——— • Wetlands Wood Stamp #126695 —— http://goo.gl/CbiWB1 • Wetlands Clear Mount Stamps 126697 —— http://goo.gl/H5wvs8 • 6 X 9 Watercolor Paper #122959 —— • Basic Black 8-1/2X11 Card Stock #121045 —— • Crumb Cake 8-1/2X11 Card Stock #120953 —— • Jet Black StāzOn Pad #101406 —— • Soft Suede Classic Ink Refill #115663 —— • Crumb Cake Classic Stampin Ink Refill #121029 —— • Marina Mist Classic Stampin Ink Refill #119787 —— • Aqua Painter #103954 —— • Tombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive #110755 —— • Stampin' Dimensionals #104430 —— Tami White Stampin' Up!
