Watercolored Monster on a Grassy Hill

Oh, hi!  Only three more days til Valentine's Day!  I've got a monster of a card for you today.  Because, how cute is he??

I actually did a bit of watercoloring. I know!  Of course, I used my Distress Inks to do the watercoloring. . . they make it easy for me.

Anywho . . . I stamped that guy onto a piece of Canson Watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx Black ink.  It's perfect for watercoloring because it's waterproof, not to mention it's really good at catching little details. . . like his fur and those tiny teeth.

I wet the paper a bit before adding in the Distress Ink to keep the color where I wanted it be.  I started out with Victorian Velvet for most of his body.  I admit that I'm not too patient when I comes to waiting for things to dry, so he kinda ended up a different color . . .

For the background, I did some masking, ink blending, stamping, and then created grassy hills with a few Copics.

Here's the video showing how it all came together:
