Hello everyone! For today's card I revisited an oldie-but-goodie "faux watercolor" technique I'd done a couple of years ago and wanted to try out again:
I stamped images from MFT's Bold Blossoms stamp set onto Canson XL watercolor paper using MFT dye inks (Razzle Berry, Blu Raspberry, Grapesicle and Sour Apple) then sprayed it with water which causes the inks to run a bit. I love the mottled watercolor look it gives after it's dry!
I stamped the flower centres with black ink and added some splatter with some Black Soot Distress Paint (that you NEED to give a good long time to dry - trust me on this one. I smeared my first attempt at filming this card because I didn't let the splatter dry long enough!).
I die cut the uppercase MOM using the new Mom Die-namics and stacked it with multiple die cuts from purple card stock before adhering the patterned ones to the top. The sentiment is from the new All About Mom stamp set and was white heat embossed onto black card stock.
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the floral images in a cluster in the centre and adding another heat embossed sentiment from the All About Mom stamp set and that was it!

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the products have little icons below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. You can hover over the icons and it will tell you what store that link will take you to. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
