Friends with Flair - Perfect Just the Way You Are

Thought I would play along with Friends with Flair again this week.  Another card featuring another one of my favorite Itty Bitty stamps (I have a lot of favorites).

You might remember this card that I posts for FWF a couple weeks ago featuring what I like to call reverse watercoloring.  

I did something similar here.  I inked up the tag (with Mowed Lawn on the bottom and Salty Ocean on the top, blending in the middle), stamped the image in Versamark and then removed color.  This time though, I went back in and re-watercolored some areas using those same colors as well as some Evergreen Bough.

For the more saturated sections, you will need to go over the area more than once, but I like that you have so much control over the process.

Another little cheat on this card.  It has the look of one of those folded banner dies, but it's not.  Instead, I cut two 'tails' and tucked them under the tag, slightly off set from the top piece that the sentiment is stamped on.  Really easy to do, and if you don't have a die cutting machine or a fancy die, this is a great way to achieve the same effect.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great Friday!
