Welcome, snarky peeps! It's time again for another fun challenge at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS! We are jumping on the hot trend band wagon this time around, and want to see your water color skillz on your card or project! I saw this video tutorial and knew I was going to try it: Here is my offering:
Here is the inside:
I did some smooshing with some Distress Inks. But before I did that, I took a snowflake cutting plate and debossed it onto water color paper. After I smooshed the colors, I spritzed the panel with Pearl Glimmer Mist, and tilted the panel this way and that to get the colors to blend. Once I was satisfied with the look, I blasted it with my heat gun. IRL this panel is sooooooo shimmery, but of course, it's a real bear to capture in a photo. Sigh. Once dry, I attached a rhinestone swirl, then heat embossed the sentiment in silver onto a strip of black card stock that is adhered with foam squares. I created a stacked snowflake using a die cut scallop circle from vellum, a die cut snowflake and a glittery foam snowflake sticker.
Ready to get inky/painty? Of course you are! We'd love to see your water color creations linked up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! Need more inspiration? Then check out what my Sisters and our newest Guest Designer, Lauren, have created for your viewing pleasure, and leave some love on their blogs!
