Ink Smooching

Hi, I have a quick card to share with you today.

Over at Stamp Nation, they are having a challenge,

"Just add Water" so it is any project that you have

used water to make.

                  I love working with watercolor and inks and all the good stuff.

  So here is what I came up with. 

Luckily I do not need a sympathy card right now, but I like

to have some on hand.

For this card, I use Distress Oxides in Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans, and Broken China.  I just smooched some ink on a piece of acetate

and then sprayed it with water, then smooched it onto

a piece of watercolor paper.   I like using the acetate because

you can see what is going on with your colors and then

press or move to get the look you like.

I then mounted in on cardstock to piece up a couple of the

colors.  I used my MISTI to stamp using a couple

Unity Stamps.  The watercolor paper is very rough so by

using the MISTI I was able to stamp it a few times.  I used 

Catherine Pooler Black Jack ink which is a dark gray.

Thanks for stopping to take a peek, hope you are

having a fabulous day.

Sympathy Card - Blue & Yellow

This card I made for my husband to give to a friend of his from high school that lost his wife to cancer this last week.  The paper is from DCWV "Cafe Mediterranean" stack, what a beautiful stack of paper.  You will find that I am a big fan of DCWV.  It has a very soft look to it that I thought was appropriate.  Not much Cricut just the scalloped edge from Accent Essentials that I had to adjust to fit.  This was also a sketch from RAQ Challenge last week.  I added the yellow pearls and some stamped yellow swirls to match.  "One day at a time" is a stamp.  I added some of the same paper to the inside and stamped the sentiment.  Hope you like it.
