April 2018 FREE Card Making Tutorial

Hello everyone.

Today I’m going to share a watercolour smoosh technique.....that is an actual bona fide crafting term.....honest!

·       Create a Melon Mambo A2 card base by cutting a piece of A4 cardstock in half and folding that in half

·       Cut a mat of Basic Black cardstock that measures 10cm x 14.4cm and adhere that to the Melon Mambo card base

·       Cut a layer of Watercolour Card that is 9.5cm x 13.8 cm

·       Spritz the Watercolour Card with water

·       On a slick surface (I used a piece of laminated white card) press down some Melon Mambo ink and some Pacific Point ink directly from the ink pad and them spritz with water until the ink puddles

·       Use a piece of Window Sheet to pick up some of that wet ink and transfer it to the damp Watercolour card. Repeat until you are happy with the result, then set it aside to dry

·       Stamp the decorative cake from the Sweet Soiree stamp set in Archival Black ink onto to Whisper White card

·       Die cut the stamped cake and a cake stand on the Bigshot using the Cake framelets.

·       Once the watercolour piece is dry, wrap Silver Edged ribbon around it and create a bow or a knot for interest, then adhere this panel to the black mat on the card base.

·       Adhere the cake and the stand to the watercolour piece using Stampin Dimensionals

·       Add a sentiment to the inside if you wish.

All the products used are available to purchase in my online store or can be ordered through me.

Hope you all have a wonderful day,

Karen
