Watercolor is a hot, hot trend right now, and I've been trying all different techniques the past few days. I love using watercolor, and it's a lot easier to do than I thought it would be.
For this card I used Tim Holtz distress ink. I stamped some of the ink on a piece of acetate, and using a water filled brush, dipped the brush in the ink with a bit of water. I brushed it onto watercolor paper creating this diagonal brushed look. I found that using watercolor paper worked much better than regular cardstock.
I stamped the typewriter and sentiment on the card in black. I wanted to bring out the teal and the black in the card and layered the image on black, mounted to a Hawaiian Shores card base. I placed the two layers flush against the right side for a different look.
