Faux Watercoloring Card

Watercoloring is a very special technique. Creating that effect is very simple if you combine Memento Inks and/or Kaleidacolor Inks. Let me show you just how easy it is:

Directions:

1. Ink your mat with the colors of ink that you want to use. DON’T MIX the colors, just ink the mat and spray it with Ink Potion No. 9 
2. I am using a double step stamp set. One part is the border and other is the inside layer. Stamp the border images with Peanut Brittle Memento Ink. 
3. 1. Ink the solid image directly over the ink that you have on the mat and stamp it over your card stock. If your want you can re-ink the image with the mat colors and re-stamp to obtain different tones.

   Easy and beautiful don’t you think?

   

To finalize the card I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair Shady Lane and clear embossing powder. Then I resized the layer with a stitched die cut and pasted it over a card base.
