She was disappointed however to find that her art had sustained water damage. Yes, it happens if we leave artwork where food and beverage prep takes place, like say, <em>the kitchen!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Much moodiness was however averted when I shared with her the beauty of the water stained art, which had bled and saturated her illustration into a hyper realistic underwater setting.<\/p>\n<p>The illustration was wonderful to begin with, and now it was pure magic to gaze upon. The little one skipped away with lightness in her heart, and a renewed belief that her art had not been ruined, but enhanced by some serendipitous water staining.<\/p>\n<p>And this little story is the creative inspiration for this Colour Bleed Art tutorial, such a fun kids art activity.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59653 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-1.jpg\" alt=\"Water Stain Art - mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"690\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-1.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-1-330x248.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-1-613x460.jpg 613w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-1-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-1-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve created a printable template with designs to colour in that you can then artistically water stain to create unique mini artworks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59699\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-featured.jpg\" alt=\"colour bleed art - kids craft project - mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"690\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-featured.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-featured-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-featured-600x429.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-featured-330x236.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Hero-Water-Stain-Art-featured-644x460.jpg 644w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Kids Art Activity &#8211; Turn that Water Stain into a Work of Art<\/h2>\n<h3>You will need:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>2x sheets of printer paper<\/li>\n<li>Water based Felt tip marker pens<\/li>\n<li>Water spray bottle filled with water<\/li>\n<li>Paper towel<\/li>\n<li>Iron and ironing board<\/li>\n<li>Printer (optional if choosing to print template)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>amzn_assoc_placement = &#8220;adunit0&#8221;;<br \/>\namzn_assoc_search_bar = &#8220;false&#8221;;<br \/>\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = &#8220;mypoppet-20&#8221;;<br \/>\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = &#8220;manual&#8221;;<br \/>\namzn_assoc_ad_type = &#8220;smart&#8221;;<br \/>\namzn_assoc_marketplace = &#8220;amazon&#8221;;<br \/>\namzn_assoc_region = &#8220;US&#8221;;<br \/>\namzn_assoc_title = &#8220;Need Supplies?&#8221;;<br \/>\namzn_assoc_linkid = &#8220;db4ee7ed3d64e6812ccb33f0e52b02c5&#8221;;<br \/>\namzn_assoc_asins = &#8220;B001E6F108,B000H88PCU,B01AX6RCD8,B009ZMP31K&#8221;;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\" class=\"broken_link\">\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>How to:<\/h3>\n<p>1.
