Let me show you my card...

This is a pretty simple card to make, I took a water color panel, cut along it's edge (using PPP stitched border die), embossed it (with Darice Birds in flight folder) and water colored at the other edge after stamping the sentiment. Next I added wood grain patterned paper from Echo park to finish my card. I am sharing this at The Paper Players #241 - CAS + water colors and Just us girls challenges # 289 - Brown, white Plus yellow

CAS-ual Friday's Stamps Feature - Water coloring

Hello friends!! Today I am here for CAS-ual Friday's Stamps  feature post. For this post I am showcasing water coloring and mix and matching of your stamps 

I have created these by using the CAS-ual Friday's 4 Petal Fri-Dies and Sands of time, Casual Elegance  stamp sets. Here is a look into my project...

To make this, all I did was some stamping, masking and no line water coloring, I also added a patterned paper to create some interest. I used a combination of Distress inks and water colors :)

It was fun creating this set, I hope I was able to inspire you.
