17:34Happy Monday lovely That's Crafty Creatives!
Today's project is using a simple technique for those of you who love a bit of a watercolour effect!
I squeezed a very small amount of the red and pink watercolour ink directly onto the petal areas of the stamp and the green on the leaves. Then with a paintbrush, spread the colours lightly across the stamp.
I spritzed lightly with water (the spritzer was approximately 12 inches from the stamp) then pressed white card onto the stamp, gently rubbing the surface of the card with my hand,
Carefully peeling the card off the stamp, it reveals a beautiful watercolour flower.
To create my card I tore around the edge of the card and painted some of the pink liquid watercolour around the torn edges. This card was then mounted on another piece of contrast card, again torn around the edges. Before sticking to my card base I cut a piece of lace from my stash and adhered to the left hand side of the card with That's Crafty! Multi Purpose Adhesive. I folded both edges of the lace over and attached to the inside of the card with two strips of card and the multipurpose glue.
I adhered the floral topper onto the card front and finally added a hand-written sentiment on white card, edging with the pink liquid watercolour.
A beautiful card, ready for the Spring, and a technique that means you can make more than one card at a time, with one application of the Liquid Watercolours!
Happy Crafting!
