\n<\/a>For my Just Add Water card, I pulled out some Distress Inks & a craft sheet to make my background. The inks were pressed onto the craft sheet, a little apart, then I spritzed it w\/ water until they started to run & pressed the piece of water color paper onto the watery inks. After the first pressing, I dried it just a bit w\/ my heat tool then pressed it again until I was happy with the way it looked. After drying it again, I put the background into my Misti & stamped the Dream, Imagine & Create<\/a><\/strong><\/span> words on the large bg & the A<\/a><\/strong><\/span> onto a die cut square of another section. The Misti really helped as I had to stamp these twice to get good coverage on the textured water color paper.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\nOn the A, I used a paintbrush loaded w\/ clear water & a paper towel to lift some of the color inside the A and inside the frame. Then I used Tombow makers to add the green. I also added the green to 2 letters I cut apart from the Create die<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>to form the rest of the “Art”. \u00a0The little bead curtains were made using the little chain from the Ornament Pops set<\/a><\/strong><\/span> & filling in the circles w\/ the green marker.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

Here’s a look at the inside. I haven’t figured out what greeting to use, so I left it blank for now.
