In the mood for Watercolouring

I don't know about you but sometimes I just want to watercolour.  I pulled out Kidoodles stamp set, it had been sitting on the shelf a little neglected after all the Christmas stuff I did. The little monkey barely fits into our 1 3/4" circle punch, you lose a tiny bit off his tail and a little bit off the bananas but I thought the 2 1/2" circle just left too much space.  Using my Aqua painter and Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Early Expresso, Lucky Limeade and Daffodil Delight ink pads, I quickly coloured him in.  I know many of you, don't like working with the Aquapainter, too much water or not enough water.  Truthfully when you finally get how this tool works, it is simply the best.  Practise, Practise, Practise and you will have it performing beautifully.  How I use it is first away from my paper, squeeze the barrel until you see water going into the part just below the screw part.

Great explanation right, how about the area I am pointing too with my pen, that part.  Once you get water in there, don't squeeze any more.  I find the water just drips out of there at a perfect pace, not too much or too little.  If your brush gets too wet, use a rag or paper towel to sop up a bit.

I used our watercolour paper and Black Stazon ink, don't want that little monkey running now.  The banner strips are 1 x 4  pieces of Summer Smooches DSP and then the corners of the Crumb Cake base are rounded with our Corner Rounder.  

Happy Stamping,
