Happy Saturday! This weekend at We Are 3, we have a new paper collection in the Etsy shop - Enchanted. These papers are versatile because the marbled patterns can provide such a nice background pattern - even great for matting! I made a simple card using papers from the Enchanted collection. Bonnie shared with us that inkjet prints are reactive to water. I need more practice with that, I suppose. I think the reaction might be dependent on the type of paper you use as well. However, after looking at some samples using stencils, I loved the look and decided to attempt at digitally getting the same look.
For my stencil, I used Layered Doily 12 from Monica's Creative Room. I then used the "dodge" tool in Gimp to activate the watermark look - very similar to spraying with water (except that this design didn't disappear when it dried - lol).
The watermark technique was popular years ago - we used Versamark ink pads back then. So it was fun to go back and work on getting this same effect now I'm more digital in my work.
