Here's my card:
How surprised are you about the colours? Mmm, thought not! So I started by brushing those colours in diagonals across some watercolour card. Then I spritzed the stamp with water and placed it fairly randomly blotting up the excess ink as I went along.
The addition of a die cut happy on a black banner and the a stamped birthday and I was done.
Supplies:
Stamps: HLS, Bold Birthday Sentiments; Stamplorations, Seashell Cosmo
Inks: Ranger distress, wilted violet, mermaid lagoon, picked raspberry; Memento, tuxedo black
Die: Clearly Besotted, happy
Thanks for visiting today, I'm really pleased you found the time. And keep crafting!
What a fun technique ... gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour choice, so soft and pretty. I love the look you've achieved by stamping with water. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colors...terrific design! Thanks for sharing at Less is More!
ReplyDeleteThose colours just flow into each other and so unusual to apply them diagonally. Fab sentiment arrangement too.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, really effective
