Ponder Anew - Distress Inks With Watercolor

Hello, and welcome.  Today I have a tutorial video for a card using distress ink techniques with watercolor using the Misti stamping tool and Impression Obsession stamps.  I have had requests to show how I do this, so today's blog has some details, and the rest is in my YouTube video... https://youtu.be/kTD8dbrErKY 

Impression Obsession stamp links:
Chinese Lantern 
Cover A Card French Text 
Boho Star 
Ponder Anew 

I started with Arteza watercolor paper in my mini Misti.  I added some distress ink, and stamped the lantern image.  I kept adding colors, and using a waterbrush to pull the color from the edges.

I added some distress refill ink to a ceramic tile for a palette, and painted the inks onto the lanterns, creating depth and light areas.  I used Polychromos colored pencils to add more details, depth, and shading.  I used the Misti to stamp again after coloring to bring back the details.  

The background is distress inks applied with the waterbrush, then the French Text and Boho Star were added, along with the verse stamped on a separate panel and added.  Some distressing was also applied along the edges.  This is all shown in detail in the video.  
 

I hope you like my card, and will watch my video.
