I’m back with another card for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Challenge.
I’ve been watching a lot of videos on using watercolor on cards and I love how it looks. So I decided to try the technique myself.
Take a look:
The die cut balloon is what I used the watercolor technique on. For my first try, I think I did an OK job.
As I look at the card, I realized that the background on the card is competing with the balloon image. It might look better if the card base was blank, then the balloon image would really stand out on its own. All in all, this was a learning experience for me.
Please, leave a comment letting me know what you think.
Supplies used:
Classic Crest Solar White CS

I also used a gold trim elastic cord from Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration free kits.
I am in LOVE with the watercolor technique! This card had me reminiscing about my childhood and my love for my watercolor coloring books. This card probably has pushed itself up to numero uno for me. I agree that just a plain white or even black card background would definitely show the beauty of the watercolors. The orange soda ink and the tide pool ink blended perfectly together and the black stars and wording tied it all together. The card has an awesome tie dye effect. Watercolor for me is perfect imperfection!
Yes.. This card is another fave.. It really stands out.. Awesome
Very cute card! Thanks so much for playing along with us over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
Thank you for the comment and thanks for having me.
