Happy Accidents (with correct photo)

This is the correct photo to show the effect of the watered down Aladdin IndigoBlu English Cottage Garden paint on watercolour paper and then covered with crumpled clingfilm. Fabulous effect but not captured by the photo unfortunately Happy Crafting love Su xxx

Happy Accidents

Here I am one month since my last blog post. Must try harder! Today I watered down some Aladdin IndigoBlu English Cottage Garden Artists Paint to try and coat the inside of an ornate glass bottle I have. It didn't work so what was I going to do with all this watered down paint? Well I splodged it all over some watercolour paper and placed some crumpled clingfilm on top and left it to dry. WOW and WOW! The photo has not captured the wonderful pink shimmer on the paper. The effect is stunning. So what to do with the paint still left in the jug? I used two paper towels to soak up the paint and wow again something stunning to use in my art journalling. The photo doesn't show up the shimmer and shine but it is exquisite. Second happy accident happened when I stamped 'Happy Birthday' in black Versafine ink on white card and just before it had dried I accidentally smudged it - urgh - so I gently smudged all of it and hey presto I had a lovely distressed Happy Birthday. I gave my friend the card before I remembered I hadn't taken a photo. But not a bad day after all Happy crafting everyone love Su xxx
