Different Watercoloring Technique

This card uses a new-to-me watercoloring technique. I love the way the ink flows on the paper. Choose a line image where the lines are solid. Stamp this image using versamark ink on Stampin' Up! shimmery white card stock and heat emboss using clear or black embossing powder. Choose a couple coordinating colors of refill ink and put a couple drops each on a nonporous surface making sure not to mix the colors. Generously spritz the image with water. Pick up some of one color of ink with an aqua painter and gently touch one area of the image. The ink will flow across the area. Repeat using the colors as desired. Allow the image to dry and use as a focal point for your card or an accent on a scrapbook page. Below is a card I made using the Embrace Life stamp set. Email me or visit my online Stampin' Up! store to purchase the supplies to make this card. Thanks for visiting. Come back again soon.
