Tape down edges of the paper
Paint over embossed Cascadia stamp with water.
Paint over entire surface with Brea Reese watercolor ink.
Dab up some of the ink to create some texture
Paint the embossed mermaid with watercolor inks. I love how the watercolor pools and mixes inside the embossed image.
I sprinkled salt in the pools of watercolor around the entire page to create the bubbly texture you see below. Just sprinkle, let dry and rub off the salt.
To finish the painting I added a handwritten quote.
I hope you enjoy my painting and if you're craving more Blank Page Muse goodness follow the links below.
