Hi all... Nicole H. here, sharing a fun way to use all of those Mister Huey spray inks you have in your stash!! When working with the Lawn Party kit, I knew I wanted to use this chipboard frame... but it needed a little something. Supplies: Mister Huey's Piglet and Clover, Paintbrushes
So I grabbed my Mister Huey in Piglet to see if my hunch was right, and it was! They make GREAT watercolor inks!! Here's how I did it:
In this example, I used a veneer star as a mask, with the Lemonade Mister Huey...then opened up my bottle of Clover. I dipped my brush inside the bottle, swiping the excess off.
Then I dabbed my brush (with the color already on it) onto a paper towel, just to get rid of some of the ink. I was looking for a muted/watercolor effect, so this worked perfectly.
All that was left to do was paint!!
One more cool way to use those Mister Hueys... who doesn't love that!?
