Amazing Life Watercolor Wash

I am so sad that this stamp set is retiring at the end of May. I can never have enough birthday sets and I love that this set has some great fonts and large greetings. It contains such beautiful detailed images and great sentiments for both the outside and inside of a card. This is a set that I will definitely be keeping on my shelf. Don't miss out, contact me to order yours today!

 

 

 

Watercolor Wash Technique

1. Cut a piece of watercolor paper.
2. Using an aqua painter brush, squeeze and brush water all over the watercolor paper.
3. Place a drop of bermuda bay reinker on an acrylic block and add a couple drops of water.
4. Place a drop of pool party reinker on another acrylic block and add a couple drops of water.
5. Pick up the bermuda bay ink with the aqua painter brush and paint it diagonally across the top portion of the wet watercolor paper.
6. Pick up the pool party ink with the aqua painter brush and paint it diagonally across the bottom portion of the wet watercolor paper, blending it up into the bermuda bay side.
7. Allow to dry.

Once the paper was completely dry I stamped the greeting using versamark ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder. I stamped the dot images in bermuda bay and the corner images using memento ink. Then I tied the black/silver ribbon around the bottom and added the black embellishments from the faceted dots embellishments (which are also retiring).

Here is another one, loving the colors! I used pacific point and pear pizzaz on this one.

I LOVE how these cards turned out!
