This month- it’s the Provence Window! On the first & third Wednesdays of every month., we’ll be celebrating with a Blog Hop!
For my water color cards today, I came across some Brusho backgrounds I made who knows how long ago. I couldn’t decide if I liked the turquoise/blue bg or the rainbow bg more…so I used both! On this turq/blue one, I put the Mill image into my Misti and stamped it 2 or 3 times w/ Versafne (to get good coverage). I added just a few highlights here & there w/ a white gel pen then added the greeting below it. It’s edged w/ a black marker, then attached to a turq layer & a very narrow black layer.
Here’s the inside. The greeting was shadow stamped w/ the blue ink slightly offset from the black.
On the rainbow version, I went thru the same repetitive stamping as the first one but ended up heat embossing it w/ black powder anyway. This unknown water color paper is soooo textured it made stamping a line image a little more difficult.
I die cut a narrow black square frame for it & stamped the greeting on a leftover piece of the background. A dot border was embossed on the frame between the image & the greeting.
Here’s the inside.
Please be sure to comment on all the DT Blogs..it will be so appreciated & also increase your chances of winning!
