Try That Technique: Cling Pearls

Have you ever wondered if a watercoloured image would coordinate with a technique background? Today I have just the card for you.

When Diana challenged me to use Cling Pearls for the Technique Junkie Newsletter challenge, I was stumped about using it with any other medium. Yes, I was stumped. So, I turned to Julie’s Mojo Monday sketch and that got me moving.

I decided to pull out a circular stamp and my Tombow Markers and to work I went. I was pleased with how the watercolour worked with this image.

Next, the challenge was to choose colours to coordinate with my Cling Pearls. I started with the main colour, and turned the colour wheel so that the blue/purple was at the top. Looking along the bottom, there were three choices to use as accents. As you can see, I used two colours: red/orange, burnt orange and went back up to the purple/blue colours and used a blue.

The open space bothered me (you know how I like to fill up my space) so I used a new-to-me flourish. Oh, how I love flourishes. Do you?

You will more watercolours to come. Have a great day, and happy stamping!

Great card.
I tried the brayer to do the porcelain technique.
Haha boy do I ever need more practice.
Will keep perservering though and let you know WHEN I get something presentable.
