Watercolor + Font Focus for Verve

I created the soft and subtle background for this card using the technique Aga demonstrated in the Watercolor for Cardmakers class.

I thought I would use it, combined with the watercolor technique demonstrated here to create a card for Verve's Font Focus challenge.



The challenge is to make the sentiment(s) the focus of your card, so I went very clean and simple.  Once my background (created with Inktense pencils) was completely dry, I inked up my stamp with a variety of Distress Inks and stamped on the panel.  Then I misted it with water so it bled a little, used a heat gun to speed up with drying, inked up the sentiment again with Versafine and stamped over the original.

Really quick and easy, but the verse definitely shines here.  I added a little sheer ribbon and rounded a couple of the corners to add some extra interest.

Thanks for coming by, I hope you are having a great weekend/mother's day!
