And a challenge at my craft place, StampNation, to use a resist technique. With supplies collected, I set out to work.
One of the things you will note in my supply list . . . Stampin' Up ink. I was setting out to use a regular dye ink to create a watercolor card. Here is the result . . .
You'll notice that the colors are very muted, which is a great look. Keep in mind I was using very subtle colors - Daffodil Delight and Pool Party. I love the subtlety and the way the white embossing powder resisted the inks. And do you see some of those watermarks from the watercolor?
Again, not my typical style, but I love this card.
I hope you found some time to create today.
Cheers!
