Say Cheese Watercolour Card

For the second day of class we learned more techniques using watercolour to create backgrounds for cards. This card used Debby Hughes's Watercolour Background Stamping technique. I was also able to use a new (to me) stamp called Say Cheese by Lawn Fawn.

For the background I used Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers and Impression Obsession's Cover-a-Card-Circles background stamp. I inked the stamp with Distress Ink and misted it with water before stamping the image onto watercolour paper. I watercoloured the Polaroid camera using watercolouring markers I bought years ago in Japan, they are very similar to Distress Ink markers. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of Tim Holtz's Mirrored Sheet using StazOn Opaque ink in Cotton White.

I really liked how the background turned out. It's a neat effect and I would definitely use this technique again.

Thanks for visiting,
