Good morning! I'm happy to be the featured designer for Impression Obsession today, and have a watercolor card to share with you.
For my card, I chose to use the Small and Large Leaf die sets, along with the Music Cover-a-Card background stamp. I die cut the leaves out of watercolor paper, and using my favorite "smooshy" watercolor technique, colored the leaves with various colors of Distress Ink. Once dry, I stamped the leaves with the Music stamp.
To create the background, I cut a piece of watercolor paper to size. On my craft sheet, I smeared various colors of blue and linen Distress Ink, and "smooshed" the watercolor paper into the colors. Once dry, I inked the Music stamp with the same colors of ink that were used for the background, and stamped the watercolor paper with the inked stamp. I love the imperfect impression this technique gives. So fun for adding a bit of nice detail to a background. Finally, I wrapped the watercolored panel with twine and a button and adhered it to a card base using foam adhesive.
Thanks for stopping by to say hi! Wishing you a beautiful day!
