Here is the very simple card that I finally crafted. It is not the most out of the box but it is what I finally accomplished after all else failed.
I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade for the background. I used the smoosh technique to create it. I then let it dry and layered a bunch of dies from the mess on my desk on the front. The last step was to use a clear Wink of Stella pen on the front of the hearts.
If I had started with this technique instead of actually water coloring images or making a scene myself, I probably would have been done with this in a half hour!! I am just disappointed because I really wanted this card to be a little bit more creative then it wound up being. Oh well! I tried.
Once again, I am entering this into the Pretty Pink Posh watercolor blog hop.
Thanks for stopping by!!
Supplies:
