That's the challenge for this month's PTI Blog Hop. I decided to use the colors as background. I had re-inkers in the "old" formula for the Terracotta Tile and Orange Zest that I used. For the rest of the colors I inked up a stamp and then picked the color up with a paint brush.
This is the first time I have tried the water color effect. It is lots of fun! I decided to use an old favorite - Life and Larger than Life for the flowers. The sentiment is from the new set Side by Side Sentiments.
Happy Hopping! ~Rhonda

ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, Rhonda. ;-) I love how you used the colors for the water-colored background and the Life stamps over that. And you're making me kick myself for not purchasing the Side by Side stamp set! Beautiful work here. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI was drawn to your card by the watercoloring. At first glance I thought you had used the Watercolor stamp set, but upon reading your blog my appreciation of your card deepens as I find out you did the watercoloring effect yourself! Truely lovely card.
