Just popping in quickly to share another card from my Watercolor class.
This is a basic background technique where you load up your stamp with color, spritz liberally with water, and then place paper on it.
In this case I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink and an A Muse Studio background.
Love how the background turned out. I kept it really CAS, partly because I've got all sorts of projects to get done, so it looks like I'm going to be falling a little further behind on my homework, but wanted to at least get this one done.
Since I'm overly matchy matchy, I colored the edges of the card base as well as the sentiment strip with my Vintage Photo ink pad.
And now for the answer for all those who guessed at my Mother's Day question from yesterday.....the comments were pretty evenly split between not sleeping in and not getting the remote.....the answer is.....no sleeping in. :( The girls didn't come in and jump on the bed, but their bedroom is just across the hall from ours, and let's just say there was some very loud singing Sunday morning......
Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock: Avery Elle - White Cardstock; Watercolor paper from Target
Stamps: A Muse - Redwood Background
Ink: Distress Ink - Vintage Photo
Other: Lily Bee - Alpha Sheet; Tombow - Stamp Runner; CTMH - Dimensional Foam Tape
