Memories of Paris Tag - Niji Waterbrush Love!

Ink Stained Roni here and I have to say....I LOVE my Niji Waterbrush!  Yes, I'd shout it from the roof tops if it weren't so snowy & icey!  I've had my Niji Waterbrush for probably 15 years now and it's still going strong.  It's not only one of my most loved tools it's also one of the most used tools in my artsy tool box.   Today I wanted to share my "Memories of Paris" tag with you that I created using a combination of my waterbrush, Niji Pearl Watercolors and a few other goodies found at Altered Pages (for complete list of supplies see the bottom of the post.).

I started off by stamping my very Parisian looking woman and coloring her with my Waterbrush and Distress Stains.  I love how you can add layer after layer of ink with the waterbrush, you can create such depth.


Next I painted several collage images using Niji's Pearl Watercolor Paint & the Waterbrush.. 


The tag was also painted using the Pearl paints....  


Did you know you can load up the brush with paint then flick it over your project?  It works great for this fun splatter effect...


I glued the collage images down, added the sentiment then stamp the Paris post mark on the tag several times.


I finished it off by adding the fussy cut woman and a bit of Sari ribbon....

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
