Hey there, it's Caryn here starting off a week of inspiration featuring the Splash clear stamp set and co-ordinating Elle-ments. Lately I've been having a LOT of fun with the new Avery Elle Liquid Watercolours (look out for a video coming very soon) and have created a perfect backdrop for my chilled out bathing beauties!
I used a thin Yupo paper (picked it up on Amazon) and spritzed it with a fine spray of water before adding Aquamarine liquid watercolour
onto it with a paintbrush. I wasn't too careful or precise as I wanted
the background to have some movement and appear more ... watery! The
paper was put aside to dry naturally which does take a bit of time so
it's a good idea to create a few background panels in advance so you
have them on hand and ready when you want to put a card together!
I
stamped a couple of ladies and their floaties of choice onto Neenah
white cardstock and coloured them with Copics and then die cut them. I
glued the dried watercoloured panel onto a white A2 card front
(landscape orientation) and then added the ladies and a few clear
droplets here and there. I finished of by cutting a strip of aquamarine
coloured card and white heat embossed the Birthday Wishes sentiment
from the Critter Crew set and tied it off with some Aquamarine twine.
