Hello friends!

I’m back with a simple cheerful card today with some easy watercoloring and lots of color!

** To watch the creation of this card – check out my process video:

For this card I used Altenew inks with a touch of water to paint organic, loose, wonky circles over the background panel. I let Altenew do the work for me by choosing pre-coordinated ink families and working my way from light to dark as I went left to right.

I stamped an outline floral image from the Wonderland stamp set onto vellum and heat embossed it in white. I used the matching artist markers to apply alcohol ink to the back of the vellum, filling in the open areas of the image.

A simple “thanks” sentiment (from the Wispy Begonia stamp set) in gold embossing on a vellum strip was the perfect way to add a message without covering my colorful panel.

I sprinkled on some gold sequins and clear drops to add a touch of bling and reinforce the gold from the sentiment.

Finally, I mounted the whole thing onto an embossed panel for some subtle background texture and then adhered it all to an A2 card base. Voila!

Thanks for stopping by for today’s project – leave me a comment to say hello and tell me if you have tried watercoloring a background panel.

Hope to see you again soon!

xo,

Tricia
