Watercolor and Distress Fun

Over the past couple of days I've been watching some Tim Holtz Q&A videosm and using some products that I've not really had the chance to play with. It's been so much fun!!  

I also took a virtual class with Altenew and we did some watercoloring and I couldn't wait to create another card using the techniques from the class. It was a lot of fun and really helps to get the creative juices flowing. 

I don't know about you but since I've been home for the last couple of month's I've noticed my creativity is starting to dry up and I'm having a hard time coming up with new things. 

I'm loving the fading of the blue watercolor on this card. It makes the flowers look like they are floating in water. 

I added some glitter from winx of stella but the picture doesn't do it justice. It's so pretty in person. 

This card is made using a stamped piece left over from the class I took.  I didn't like the way the sentiment stamped so set it aside. With using the oxide inks on here it helped mask what I didn't like. 

I, now, can't even tell what I didn't like lol.  I used the oxides on my craft mat and sprayed with water to get them moving. I then laid my cardstock piece in the mixture and then dried it. I repeated this several times so I could get a nice blend. 

After that was dry I sprayed a stencil with water and laid the wet area over my cardstock and "rubbed" off the excess ink and water with a paper towel. It gave me a great lift on the stencil and the texture created is wonderful. 

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!
