With Father's day approaching I need to work on some masculine cards, a genre I find challenging. I enjoy ink smooshing so this card was fun. I used to different shades of Distress Ink. I smoosh the ink pad one color at a time on my ink pad. I spritz the ink with water making it bead then tapped the watercolour cardstock into the ink. I dry in between layers of ink, adding more colour until I like the results. Once it was dry I stamped the waves with Distress ink then stamped and embossed the little boat.
I applied some ink through a wave stencil to a card a base and finished the card off with some dots of Nuvo Drops.
My card is for this months Happy Little Stamper's Watercolour Challenge.

The smooshiness of the watery background is fabulous, Kelly ... there's such a great sense of movement in it ... perfect with those flourishy waves and little sailboat bobbing about! Anita :)
