How are you today? I'm in spending some time in my craft room so that makes it a good day! I'm sure you can relate.
today I'm sharing a fun technique that is easy to do and looks great when finished. I stated by doing a wash of color on Watercolor paper. First I painted some water on the Watercolor Paper to make it wet. Kind of a soupy wet if you want the colors to flow. Next I put a drop of each color from a re-inker onto an acrylic block. Using the water brush again, I picked up a bit of the ink and painted it across the wet paper. I kept doing this until I had the blend I wanted then set it aside to dry. You can also dry it with a heat tool.
When dry, I die cut the letters saving the die cuts for another project. I just wanted the piece with the letters cut out for this card. I stamped some small snowflakes around the word JOY and added some gems to make it sparkle.
I trimmed the paper down to size (4" x 5.25") and backed the cut out section with some pretty shimmer paper. The card base is a side fold and a color that compliments the water wash.
