Watercolored Birthday Greetings

Hello and Welcome.

Today, I have the pleasure of being the Guest at

Craft Stamper Magazine.

Here is the card I created for the theme 'Take a Stamp'.

I began by watercolouring the background with some of my Distress Oxide inks.  To do that, I pressed the pads directly onto my non-stick mat, sprayed with a bit of water and picked up the colour with a paintbrush.  I also used my 'acetate inking' technique to add colour to the background.

To see how I do that, go here.

Acetate Inking

When I was happy with the inking, I stenciled with some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink and then stamped the clock face and the birthday greeting.  

BTW....my husband loved his card.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
