Happy Little Stamper's March Watercolour Challenge





Here with a card for the Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge.  I decided to use the optional smoosh technique.  



I applied Distress ink to my craft mat spritzed it with water than used a piece of water colour card stock to pick up the ink.  I started with the lightest green I used (Twisted Citron) dabbing and running my card stock through the inky puddle on my craft mat.  I dried the ink with my heat tool before adding the next colour (Lucky Clover).  The darkest color I used was a blue (Mermaid Lagoon).  I continued to add more color in layers, drying with my heat tool in between colors until I was happy with the vibrancy.  I applied some more Lucky Clover around the edges of the water colour piece after I die cut it with a stitched rectangle die.  For the flowers I used stick it adhesive sheets.  I applied a piece of Stick It adhesive to both sides of a piece of card stock before die cutting the flowers (die from Concord and 9th).  I removed the backing from one side of the flowers, adhered them to the smooshed water colour piece then removed the paper from the front of the flowers and used a fine iridescent silver glitter (Nuvo) to the front.



Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you join the Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge.
