Hi friends!!
I stamped those florals from VARNA's Floral Fantasy #1 with versamark watermark inkpad and added white embossing powder and heat embossed it.... I dabbed 3 colors of distress inkpad (picked raspberry, mustard seed, shaded liliac and dusty concord) randomly in the craft sheet and sprayed water generously over it from my mini misters and just placed a water color paper on it and gave it a shake... after taking it it was awesome, initially it was very light color.... it was wet throughly i dripped the excess water and dried it using mt heat gun then to give a extra detail and effect i pressed it the paper here and there with the left out ink in my craft sheet.... in this process i over did so got a stronger and darker color.... but i actually wanted a lighter version of this... but achieved it in my next attempt, I am also sharing that picture here... But water color paper and distress ink does magic..... its a must try technique...
the problem i faced is in stamping and embossing the sentiment stamp (which is also from the stamp Floral Fantasy #1), as i wanted my sentiment also above the flowers and not as a seperate layer so i had a hard time heat embossing as the water color paper had moisture and i long time cleared the embossing powder in other areas....
And also i found fact that once we stamp it wid the watermark ink pad, it stays for a long time, even wiping it wid wipes or kitchen towels... great finding... lol:P
finally i adhered the water color sheet to scored and folded cardstock card....
Hope i am not boring with long post....
Here I am with a card... I am not sure if its beautiful but i loved making it using distress ink pads, watercolor paper, mini misters and my own VARNA's Stamps.....
