#GDP250: Watercolor Whale

I am featuring the Whale Done Bundle this week over on my Facebook page, and recently I've seen a few purple whales pop up in our demonstrator group. I love purple, so I decided to try it out on my own card. I used the sketch challenge at Global Design Project as my other inspiration.

A couple of details - I watercolored with Highland Heather ink on Watercolor Paper, and then punched the whale out after it dried. Although I really hate using liquid glue, it's what I would recommend for piecing together the whale. Those pieces are just too little for glue dots! The tiny heart in 'LOVE' is a stamp in the Whale Done stamp set. I fussy cut it and added it on top of the 'O'. 

I kind of love Misty Moonlight with the soft purples. Magenta Madness was my favorite new color at the beginning, but I think Misty Moonlight might be taking its place. Here is the color combination I used.

Ink: Highland Heather
Paper: Misty Moonlight, Purple Posy, Whisper White, Balmy Blue, Basic Black, Vellum, Watercolor Paper
