July is World Watercolor Month!
Come and join the fun at STAMPlorations Linky Party!
I was inspired by Shery's background for her STAMPlorations Badge!
I used one Distress Oxide Ink at a time using the smooshing technique.
Starting with the lightest Squeezed Lemonade, then Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon,
Blueprint Sketch, Abandoned Coral and Wilted Violet.
I smeared DOX onto glass mat and spritzed with water then smooshed
Mixed Media paper onto mat.
Mixed Media paper onto mat.
After smooshing the color in several areas of paper then changed to a new
DOX color after letting previous color dry.
Die cut background with CUTplorations Crazy Running Stitch Rectangles Die.
Next placed card front in MISTI and stamped with STAMPlorations
Say It Big: "Sunshine" stamp with Versafine and heat EB with Clear EB powder.
Popped up with White Craft Foam onto card base and Done!
Loved the colorful background that looked so Summery:-)
You have until July 31st to play along in the fun Watercolor Linky Party.

When we were out camping I tried to leave a comment on this with my phone. It appeared to work just fine, but the comment never showed up. Weird. So that was the end of trying to keep up while we were away, sigh... I think your background on this is just spectacular! All those fabulous colors which work together just beautifully. Smooshing is the most fun technique. Your bold embossed sentiment really stands out against the background!
ReplyDeleteI love your colourful watercolour background, perfect with the sentiment Nancy :) Thanks for joining for World Watercolour Month xx
