Hello and Welcome.
Just a fun card today for the
This month we are playing with a simple technique called Splash Watercolour. I have done many backgrounds using this technique. There is a video link on the main challenge blog.
This month, we welcome our guest Marcia aka Marcia K Designs.
So onto my card design.
I pressed Picked Raspberry, Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink onto my non-stick craft mat, sprayed with water and 'slapped' my piece of white cardstock into the wet ink. I dried between inks so I wouldn't end up with a muddy mess. The inks layer over each other so nicely.
When I was happy with the coverage, I die cut the piece using a Wonky Stitched border. Next, I placed the piece inside my Misti to stamp the sentiment and the flowers with black Memento ink.
After stamping the flowers, I drew around the flowers with a white Signo pen to brighten the whole piece up. I simply mounted it onto another piece of white cardstock keeping it clean and simple.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look. I hope you will come and play along with us.
