Hello.
As soon as i saw the Facebook event for a watercolour themed blog hop hosted by pretty pink posh i knew i wanted to join in, i mean who doesn't love water colours?
With all the various types of water colours i have i went with some distress inks.
I'm not an overly pink person but i LOVE picked raspberry so that had to be used along with squeezed lemonade and salty ocean.
I added the ink to an acrylic block and lifted with a water brush once it was all dried i added some splashes of each colour.
I used Winnie and Walters Addies garden stamps, its full of the most beautiful flower images.
The images are heat embossed in platinum on vellum and fussy cut.
I coloured the back of the vellum with copics which gives a muted almost watercolour feel.
I finished with the sentiment and trimmed down die cut "you" in glitter card and finally some clear Pretty pink posh sequins.
Do check out the design team, guest and sponsor cards that were linked up yesterday.
Thanks for looking.
