I’m back! I didn’t intend to take the whole month of June off from blogging, but sometimes life just works out that way. I have now accumulated a bunch of projects that I’m ready to blog about. Here’s the first:
I was in a watercoloring mood, so I got out my Watercolor Paper and started playing. I had no idea what I would end up with, but that’s sometimes the most fun process, just to play until you get something interesting. What do you think?
Here’s how I did it:
I cut the Watercolor Paper to 4″ x 5-1/4″. I used a spritzer filled with water to get the paper very wet. Then I used Ink Refills in the 5 new In Colors to drip onto the wet paper. I spritzed it some more to make the ink run more. At this point there were puddles on the paper that I was afraid would take too long to dry (too long = longer than I wanted to wait.) I took out my trusty Heat Tool and dried up those puddles in a jiffy.
I used Fast Fuse to adhere the Watercolor Paper to a Peekaboo Peach card base.
I stamped the sentiment and light strands from the Confetti Celebration stamp set in Basic Black onto a strip of Flirty Flamingo card stock. I filled in the lights with a Chalk Marker, going back over them a second time to make the white stronger. I used Fast Fuse to adhere the strip to the card front, and I was done!
Not only was this card easy to make, it was fun dripping the inks and making them run. I didn’t even get very much ink on me – a miracle in itself, as I’m a very messy crafter.
I hope you’ll try this technique. Be sure to let me know how it works for you!
Here’s what I used:
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
