Watercoloured Distress inks Spellbinders Elegant Ovals

Hi there everyone, Shaz here with a another tutorial on watercolouring, with distress inks.

The best way to colour this fine lined image, was with Distress inks watercolours - no detail is lost! Plus they blend beautifully.
Smooched Distress ink on white piece of laminated cardstock, or use a stamping block, with white paper under it so you can see colours.
Used two mauve/ purple, and three green with blue. DI Blue Denim was used on both purple and green for shadows.

So here is the completed image .. this was for a very special friend"s birthday. Also lightly inked whilst the die cut still in Stitched Oval die with Distress inks in two greens, Peeled Paint, and Pine Needles. Cottage Cutz Stitched ovals  fit really well the largest of the Spellbinder Elegant Ovals.
I shaped the flowers as love the 3D look, although it doesn't really show that clearly - see here to show I do it. I did this with a single coloured layer.. a cheat's way :D
