Watercolour Hello

Hello…remember me? I know its been a long time. There have been several reasons for my absence, but mostly I just needed a break from card making. Ever been there?

Anyway, I am currently taking the Online card class – Watercolor for Cardmakers and I made a card!

For this card I created a watercoloured background using distress markers. Firstly I heat embossed the background stamp in white embossing powder and then roughly coloured the image in with Distress Markers. I then spritzed the panel with water and watched the colours blend.

Once dry I cut out the letters and inlaid them back in to create a flush image.
