Okay…last day! Phew, what a watercolor week! Couldn’t finish the week out without another one! This time I used the Be Who You Want kit from Unity. I also used a couple other Unity papers for backing and framing from 2 different kits, Magnolia Dreams and Watercolor Stripes. Again, I think I stamped this one with a couple different oxides (they just blend and dissolve into the watercolors… you just need to make sure the ink color doesn’t change the tones you want).
I thought I’d struggle watercoloring this one, but I had a lot of fun painting it! I think I did a little white gouache again to the centers. I completed this one by stamping and embossing one of the sentiments (which I cut down). I just added enamel dots to complete this one.
So, that’s it for my week… a lot of stamping, papering and watercoloring! Hope I showcased a lot of pretty Unity stamps for you and gave you some ideas for pairing papers and stamps! Have to say…Unity has a ton of both!

DeleteI've learned many things reading your blogs this week - I'm not a huge oxide stamper and want to try that out. Loved watching you fearlessly use reds - one of the hardest colors to use. You are definitely an amazing artist and water colorist. Pam
