Celebrate Your Day- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Hello and Welcome.

It's time for another card for the 

Fun theme this month:


I began by inking up my embossing folder using my Distress Oxide inks.
I started at the top with the lightest colour and worked down to the darkest.
When it was all inked, I sprayed it with water and pressed it onto my white cardstock.
I love the print it created.
Next, I placed the inked piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment using black ink. I clear heat embossed it to make it pop.
As a finishing touch, I doodled a blackline border around the edge.
Simple, fun looking card.


I hope you will come and play along with us.
Thanks for stopping by.

  8. What a fabulous background. I think I tried this once and it did not get as sharp a color pattern as you got. I might have to try it again some time soon. I sure love your card though.
