A Year Of Card Techniques / 5-2017/World of Watercolor

Welcome to A Year of Card Techniques Blog Hop
 where each month we feature a different card technique. 
We’ve assembled a team of card makers who range from new 
to advanced, so you’ll see a great variety of cards and ideas.

For May, we are venturing into the world of watercolor.
 There are so many watercoloring techniques available
to us today; far too many to list here. But actions speak louder 
than words; so our team has worked with their favorite mediums
 to bring you lots of examples and loads of inspiration.

If you would like to check out our past technique hops, 
you can do that here:
March-no hop this month 

I happen to be the Sponsor this month, and I am an Independent
Consultant for Close to My Heart:
Please take a moment to check out the great products Close to My Heart has to offer. To visit me, Jodie Park on my Facebook page, just click here.

And the awesome prize this month is: One of my favorite stamp sets!! Love this saying!!



This months technique is water color~~
 I used a page of our Live Beautifully Paper pack
 that had a white background but gold flowers embossed.
I used a water color brush with our ink pads to color
in different shades of the flower and leaves. 
Picture does not do this card justice. I also used our glitter pen 
over the finished edge and gave it a sparkle. 







I also found some great ideas on pinterest on using water color
for the background using the clear block and inking then s
pritzing with water.


I also found some great ideas on using the stamp that I have for
the prize this month and the Live Beautifully Paper Pack.
