Watercolor Hop!


Hi everyone!  Today I have a card for the Pretty Pink Posh watercolor blog hop!

  I love making watercolor backgrounds and for this card I was able to use 2 new to me distress ink pads, Mowed Lawn and Seedless Preserves.  I applied the ink pads directly to the paper and sprayed with water to blend.  I dried with my heat gun and sprinkled water.  I then cut out the layer using my Stitched Borders 2 die, the sentiment is from my Simon Says Stamp Friendship Messages, cut out using Stitched Borders 3 Dies and heat embossed with Platinum Embossing Powder.  I added a few sequins and tied a bow to finish the card.
I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!

  1. This is so RICH, Lori! What a clever girl you are to apply your ink directly to your paper and then spritz! That's a new one on me and I can't wait to try it. The whole design is fabulous!! Hugs, Darnell

  18. I LOVE the way the white flower pops against those dark colors. I never would have thought to combine those Distress inks, but the fact that you didn't let them blend too much makes it work. Tfs! ~ Andrea
