Happy Monday!
I must say I was happy to welcome in the month of February. I think
there is some truth that January is the most depressing month of the
year - it was so cold and windy the entire month I felt like curling up
into a ball and hibernating. If nothing else I hope turning the page on
my calendar inspires me to start creating again!
Today's card is one of the techniques I shared at last month's technique
class. It featured how to create that pretty watercolor background
with the use of ink pads, butcher paper, and a Stampin' Spritzer.
The process is as follows:
1) Smear your chosen colors onto a piece of butcher paper. I chose to
use butcher paper because of its non-porous properties. You want to be
sure to use the waxy side of the paper for this technique.
2) Spritz the ink with water.
3) Lay a piece of watercolor paper face down into the ink and gently move the piece of paper back and forth.
4) Flip the paper over and heat set to speed up drying times.
Supplies:
Stamp sets: Happy Watercolor
Cardstock: Watercolor Paper, Whisper White, Strawberry Slush
Ink: Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Gumball Green, Basic Black
Accessories: Floral Framelits, Little Leaves sizzlit, Bitty
Butterfly Punch, Decorative Dots EF (SAB), Tombow liquid adhesive,
Stampin' Spritzer, butcher paper
I did create a video for this technique, however I haven't edited it as
of yet. If its something you would be interested in seeing, please
comment below and I will get it done and uploaded ASAP.
