Art for the Soul

Hello.

I am so grateful that you took some time to stop by and see what I have been up to.

Playing with a fun stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and some Distress Re-inkers today to create this card and give it a unique, watercoloured look.

So onto my card details and here is what I did.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and laid the Curly Q stencil over my paper.

Next, I laid a wet baby wipe over that and dropped on some Distress Re-inkers right onto the baby wipe.  I tried to distribute the colours as best I could.  I took a piece of acetate and laid that over so I could press the wet ink from the baby wipe directly into the grooves of the stencil and not get the ink all over my hands.  I let it soak in a bit then removed the acetate, baby wipe and the stencil to reveal this fun pattern.  I love the watercolour look that it has.  

If you still have a lot of ink on the baby wipe, repeat the process using a different stencil or just press the colour onto another piece of cardstock to give you a colourful background.

When it was dry, I placed it into my Misti and stamped the sentiment, then clear heat embossed it.

I mounted it onto a piece of coordinating blue cardstock then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
