I am so excited that you are joining us for another Art Impressions Watercolor Weekend. For this weekends project, I created this sweet Flowering Bird Bath. I used the Bird Bath stamp as a pot to hold my flowers and foliage.
I was inspired by a bird bath I saw in my neighbors yard that had flowers and foliage spilling out of it. This project is so quick and easy.
Flowering Bird Bath project Details
First, I stamped the bird bath on my watercolor paper using Sepia. I pulled the color out of the lines. I didn’t ink up the entire top so my foliage would spill out over the sides.
Using the vine from the Foliage Set 1 inked up with Olive green, I stamped it several times around the top of the bird bath. I used my brush and water to soften the lines.
Next I inked up a flower from the Flower Set 3 inked with Olive Green and Orange and stamped it several times in the middle of the foliage. I didn’t ink the bottom of the stamp so they would be shorter and fit better into the foliage.
I then took another flower from the same set, inked with Olive Green and Magenta, and stamped it on both sides of the Orange flowers. I softened the blooms with a damp brush.
To anchor the bird bath, I used the small grass from the Foliage Set 1 inked with Olive Green. I walked it out from the middle to the edges. I used my brush to pull the color up and out.
I stamped the small flower from the Flower set 2 inked with Olive Green and violet on either side of the bird bath. I softened the blooms with my brush. To finish off the project, I signed and dated it.
Creating the card
I used the layered plaid cover die from Altenew to cut a piece of white cardstock. I adhered it to a piece of Mango cardstock from Gina K Designs. I cut my watercolor piece with the single stitched oval from Gina K Designs and mounted it on a piece of pink cardstock cut with the spellbinders oval die. I mounted this in the middle of the card.
This is a clean and simple card that doesn’t take anytime to create. I hope you will join me and my team mates this weekend. Make sure to upload your projects to Instagram using the #AIWatercolor. We can’t wait to see what you create!
