Just Because

It was Card Design Class last night, I always try to bring a variety of techniques and styles to the projects I teach the ladies.


 


I have had this Faux Watercolouring technique on my mind for weeks and have finally managed to get it onto card, using a Penny Black®, Inc. stamp.



I have used the Decorative Labels Eight Spellbinders® Decorative Elements Nestabilities® for the card base, the image is stamped directly onto it using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Inks in Bamboo Leaves, Lulu Lavender and Lilac Posies.


The stamped were inked using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Sponge Daubers™ then the paper was spritzed with water before stamping, giving a watercolour effect.
 



The sentiment is from the JustRite Stampers Large Fancy Sentiment stamp sets and the Pearls from Want2Scrap©.



This card is for the following challenges: 
Charisma Cardz - Pink and Green 
MilkCoffee Challenge - Summer fun 
Crafting By Designs - Favorite season - Summer

 Little Red Wagon - no patterned paper
