I'm back for day 2 of Camp Create 2017 at My Favorite Things. The activity for day 2 is to create a card using a watercolor resist technique.
I embossed the Whimsical Waves background stamp on a piece of watercolors with white embossing powder. Then I added Peerless watercolors in Robin's Egg Blue, Forget-Me-Not Blue and Turquoise. I'm listing the colors so that I can come back to this post to remind myself what they were. I'll definitely be recreating that combination for more cards!
Here is the background piece that I created before I used it on my card. I have to say that I am so in love with this piece of paper that I didn't want to cut it and put it on the card! If a certain friend reads this she will laugh out loud. She makes fun of me because I have a piece of ribbon that I dyed years ago but refuse to cut because it turned out so beautifully!
However, unlike the ribbon I did trim this piece and create the card below. I added images from the MFT Mermazing stamp set that I colored with copic markers. The banner is from the Blueprints #28 die-namics set.
I'm really happy with how this card turned out and I've earned my second badge!
WHO is that friend??? You tell me her name and I will go have a talk with her! No, I will HELP her laugh at you for still hoarding that piece of ribbon from a gozillion years ago!
ReplyDeleteI will hug it and love it and call it George!
Those mermaids are adorable! Aw heck, the whole card is! It just needs a ribbon on it!
