Watercolor, Butterflies & Anything Goes

Friday, May 1, 2015

Hello there! Yesterday I did some experimenting with distress inks and smooshing. I love this technique and how quick it is to do. Today I made a card using one of the backgrounds I created yesterday.


To create my background, I started by spreading Picked Rasberry and Seedless Preserves distress inks onto my Ranger craft sheet. I spritzed both colors with water and added them to my paper using a paint brush. I do have some Ranger distress watercolor card stock but for this I used PTI's Stamper's Select and I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. It warped some at first but I used my heat tool to speed up the drying time and it helped to flatten the card stock back out. Today I finished my card by adding a die cut butterfly and flag banner on which I stamped my sentiment. 

I am entering my card into the following challenges:
