I have a gorgeous card to share with you today! I didn't use a single die, this card is basically just ink and paper. If you want to try your hand at more watercolor techniques this is a good one to start with. I used my Water Painters and some watercolor paper to make my background. Before you add ink to your watercolor paper make sure you use a clean brush and prime the paper with water. This step may not sound like much but it will help your ink move. To add the ink I inked up an empty block and picked up the color with my Water Painter. I started on the top and worked my way down. Every time I picked up more ink I started on the top. This way the top stays the darkest and the color gets lighter as it goes down the paper. Love this ombre look! Once it was dry I used my Tahitian Tide Stampin' Blends and splattered some ink onto the background.
For my image I used the Wonderful World Set, this is a Sale-a-Bration item you can only earn free with a qualifying $100 order. I stamped my image in Pacific Point Ink. Because I'm stamping onto watercolor paper which is very textured I used my Stamparatus and had to stamp it 2 or 3 times to get a full complete image. This is again another extra step but the results speak for themselves. I added a greeting with the Artistically Inked Set and layered it all up onto a Tahitian Tide card base with some Metallic Mesh Ribbon and Tahitian Tide Twine. I finshed the card with some clear Elegant Gems. I have a full supply list below, you can shop for these products in my Online Store.
