It has been a bit of a hectic week, but we are hoping next week will normalize a bit. Gotta find a new normal for the next few months!
We have a new challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS. Our theme is watercolor! Typically, I would just pull out my distress inks and go from there, but this time I thought I would do something different...at least, different for me.
I generally take more control with my cards, in fact I have a splatter stamp because I get nervous when I just splatter ink on my card! While this is not new to most of your this is big for me....
I took out my watercolor tube and mixed the red with water and really added a ton of water to my cardstock. I then just placed in the watercolor and let it move it around.
I'm not sure how I feel about it...but I think I can get away with this for Halloween!
I then stamped, colored and die cut my main image and added the sentiment!
Pretty simple!
Here's a close up of the card. My first whimsical watercolor background!
