Happy Monday my crafty friends...thought I'd share a super quick water colorish type card....It was really easy...I started off with a piece of watercolor paper (the really cheap kind from Walmart) I used my new stamp from Honeybee stamps that I got from Scrapsalotllc.com actually everything except the paper and embossing powder is from there! anyway, I stamped using vera mark ink and used Ranger's black embossing powder and quickly embossed it with my heat gun. I think it took me longer to figure out which colors distress inks I wanted to use.... I went with Salty ocean, seedless grapes, and peacock feathers
I smooshed the inks on my mat then add a generous amount of plain water around my sentiment then took a wet brush and picked up some of the ink off my mat, I did one color at a time adding more water when needed. I used my heat tool to dry between layers..I just kept playing with it until I liked how it looked. It did warp a bit but I put in under something heavy overnight and in the morning it was fine. I added some black ink droplets/splatters then trimmed it and adding it to a basic 5 1/2x 4 1/4 note card added some enamel dot and sequins and the card is done!
so what do you think?
thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous week!
