Faux watercolor background

I had a swap this month which required a watercolored background so I thought I would use some of my awesome supplies from Scrapsalot all inks and stamps are from there...make sure you stop by scrapsalot and check out what paper crafting supplies she has to offer!

I used plain white #110 lbs card stock (which is flimsy when using lots of water lol but I managed to flatten it out after it dried with some heavy books) I picked my two favorite colors peacock feathers and wilted violet distress oxide sprays.
I put a Lil bit of the spray on my craft mat (one at a time)added a bit of water then smushed my paper into the color. I alternated colors (drying in between each color) until I had a background I was happy with...now I did four panels and each one came out a little different.

I pulled out this beautiful peony dreams stamp set from waffle flower...I thought it would be perfect for this card...

 I thought added a bit of a black border would make this panel pop...I finished this card off with a couple enamel dots also from waffle flower

I kind of made my sentiment the focal point on my card because it kind of says it all LOL I love this stamp sentiment from Honey Bee-shake it off stamp set it has all sorts of coffee-related sentiments

 I used the awesome Tim Holtz stencil splatters for my coffee rings and some distress inks... I used waffle flower enamel dots and changed the color with alcohol markers ...So we have a kraft card base, a vintage book page (awesome find from our local restore habitat for humanity!!) put my white card front layer on then I die cut a piece of DCWV corrugated paper using a spellbinders card creator die for my final layer...

 yeah yeah, maybe one of these days I'll get the hang of describing houtI put my cards together...I'm guessing today isn't that day! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and make sure you check out the Scrapsalot shop!
