Day Two of Summer Card Camp 2, and I’m loving this class!

This fantastic technique is soooo easy to do, and is done using water-based colors. The first color I did (orange – on the left) didn’t come out right because I used too much water.  Instead of saturating the color with water for the other colors, I used just one gentle spray.

I’d intended to add just one flower to the left of the die-cut window, but you guessed it, my fingers were a bit inky, and I left black smudges! Thank goodness for easy ways to cover up!

The “thanks” is a cut-file from Silhouette. (Design #11178)  I did endeavor to make my own, but couldn’t get the cut-out to stay together – it just kept on cutting between the letters.  I know it was user error, but as I was becoming frustrated, I just went to the Silhouette Online Store and bought what I wanted. It was 50cents well spent! (The design is on sale right now.)

I tried very hard to match the watercolor, and I pretty much achieved that.

Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you that the greeting is from Gina K Designs – One in a Million stamp set.  I popped the topper up on dimensionals to give it more of a 3D look, and also did that for the lowest flower. The other one was lightly glued with wet glue – only in the centre to give it a little more dimension.
