Today I'm sharing some of my water color paintings. But first a card for the The wonder of Water Colors challenge at Moxie Fab. I used to paint a lot when I was younger both water colors and oil paintings, but lately I've become quite lazy (to my mum's dismay) and love to create things that are finished much faster. I still love the water color look so the water coloring stamp technique is perfect for me - You ink your stamp in different colors and then spray the stamp with water before stamping it onto your card. I'm quite pleased with the result - hope you like it too.
The stamps I've used are from Gel-a-tins - Big and Wild and PTI - Birthday Basics.
Ink; Distress ink by Rangers
Cardstock; Bazzill
I made sure I made a birthday card so I could enter it for my dear bloggie friend Annette's BirthdayAnniversary Challenge and kept it Clean and simple for CAS-ual Friday's Birthday Challenge.
