Water Stencil Technique

By on August 14, 2017 in Paper Crafting

I cannot stop making rainbow cards! Today I thought I’d try another technique stamping with water to “Bleach” the background a little.

I’m using the Ellen Hutson Bold Blooms set and the Avery Elle Fill-In-the-Blanks set (a few of my favorites!) Here’s how it turned out:

Doesn’t that look cool how the water just sort of wicks away that color?!? Here I used Distress Inks on watercolor paper. It’s a neat technique and you can try it with a stencil OR a stamp! This card is for a friend that just landed a new job. I think this card is great for that celebration.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 — Day 1

By on August 4, 2014 in Paper Crafting, Uncategorized

“School” started today for me with Online Card Classes. The new Stretch Your Stamps 2 started out with some great projects! I was so inspired and even got some homework done today.

This is my version of the watercolor emboss resist background made into two cards:

I love how they turned out! (my husband was even impressed…he liked the shiny 3-D effect on the “hello”)

I ended up rounding the bottom corners of the Red Riding Hood card:

red-and-hello

Aren’t they so happy?

hello-to-you-rainbow

That Kristina Werner is so creative!

I’ve got another card I’ll share later…I started it, but haven’t quite finished yet.
Looking forward to day 2!
