Hey everybody!
It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card using a technique that I am calling “faux watercolor” because the end result look like it was water colored to me.

Skill: Beginner
Time: 30 minutes

Directions:

Start by gathering your supplies. You will need a A2 card base, a white panel, a panel of tidepool cardstock, several colors of VersaMagic ink, VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink, Memento Tangelo ink, sponge daubers and an embossing folder.

Step 1:
Make a dry run of the embossing folder through the die cutting machine.

Step 2:
This looks like a hot mess, but I promise it gets better. Using a sponge dauber, color the leaves as desired using VersaMagic inks.

Step 3:
Lock the embossed panel back into the folder and generously ink up the debossed side with a dark brown ink. Close the folder and run it through the die cutting machine.

Step 4:
Glue the panel down on the card base and add a sentiment. I used a happy birthday die cut.

Thanks for stopping by!
