Thoughts and Prayers - and a BIG sale

I do so love the watercolor look, and I love how easy it is to achieve.

This card was a really quick and easy one to put together.  I used watercolor paper (and I get mine in the kids art department at Target....it's part of the Kid Made Modern line and it's a seriously great buy.    20 sheets for something like $3.99.  It's thick stuff too!

Anyway, all I did to create the background was cut the panel, then brush water onto the center portion, and then apply ink distress ink that I had pressed onto an acrylic block.  The center panel is a little softer and more even.  For that, I pressed my two colors of ink on to a block, spritzed it with water liberally and then pressed it to my paper and kind of swiped it across.  Then I just cut a portion of it out for the sentiment.

The sentiment is Verve and I added a little May Arts burlap string and American Crafts sheer ribbon to finish it off.



Speaking of ribbon, I mentioned a big sale, right?  Well, there's a BIG sale going on at Ribbon Carousel, half off carousels!  If you've been wanting one, now is THE time to get one, head over here to check it out!
