GUEST ARTIST FEATURE: Gayatri Murali

Hey everyone, Gayatri Murali guesting here today. Wplus9 has been one of my top favourite company for it's designs and more so for Dawn’s colouring videos. Being a visual person I love learning through videos. Also I love, love all of Dawn’s floral themed stamp sets. I love the Beautiful Bouquet and the Modern series. I chose The Ranunculus and Modern Anemones stamp sets for my projects to share today.

I did some loose watercoloring here. I am no expert in watercoloring but I am not afraid to experiment. The loose watercoloring look appeals to me a lot and I can do that. So here is a video of how I made these cards using Zig clean colour brush watercolour markers. Hope you enjoy.

I am working on using the traditional watercolour but Zig clean colour brush pens give me more control when watercoloring. It is ironic considering I did some loose watercoloring and there is no control needed for it. LOL! I used Bristol smooth cardstock to stamp and watercolour the images.

I love masking and stamping to make floral clusters on the background. But you could always use the Beautiful Bouquet stamp sets to avoid masking and stamping and takes less time because these sets are beautiful floral cluster already.

Spatters on the background adds to artistic feel to card. I love fine black spatters on floral backgrounds.They also add contrast and ties the other black elements together. Speaking of contrast, I love a nice contrast on, both are awesome on black cardstock. Also the watercolored floral images shows through the negative die cut which is beautiful and cuts through the big block of black panel. Similarly, the secondary sentiment from That is All stamp set is simply stamped in black on white strips of cardstock and adhered. The white Nuvo crystal drops also adds to the contrast and texture to the card.

Thank you so much to Wplus9 for giving me an opportunity to share my creativity. I feel privileged to your guest. Hope you are inspired by my projects and video.
