More details on the hop and giveaway at the end of the post!

Card Details

For my card today I began by stamping out the dogwood flowers using the Juicy Ink on bristol paper then heat setting it with a white embossing powder. Two of the images were stamped onto the card panel that I used as the card front and the other two image I then die cut out to layer.

I then did some quick watercoloring using a handful of Zig markers and a water brush. Once everything was colored in I arranged the flowers to make look like a cluster of Dogwood flowers on a tree.

To finish the card, I added the sentiment strips that I stamped onto black paper to the bottom left of the card. And for some added bling I added some sparkling sequins and glossy accents to the center of the flowers.

Lilac Dreams - Thinking Of You Card - Watercoloring and Smooshing with Distress Oxide Inks

Hello Friends!

Today I'm sharing this super easy and fun to make card featuring the Lilac Dreams set from Ink On 3. At first, I was going to do a no line coloring for this card and then changed my mind when I realized I wasn't going to have the time to finish it. I've been wanting to try this technique out for a while and I am so happy I did because I love the results! 

I first began by stamping out the lilacs onto the cardstock using Juicy Ink, then heat set the images using a fine white embossing powder.

I then smeared some Seedless Preserve and Wilted Violet Oxide ink onto clear acetate sheet, sprayed it with some water then used the sheet to smoosh onto the cardstock, using my heat gun to dry every layer.  I repeated that process a few times until I was satisfied with the coverage. Then I spritzed the entire panel with water and soaked up the droplets with a paper towel, which left behind some watermarks.

Next, I used a detail watercolor brush and added more distress oxide ink to the flowers using the same colors as the background. Then to the leaves added a mix of Forest Moss, Evergreen Bough, and Lucky Clover Oxide Ink.

I finished the card by adding a sentiment from the Water Lily set to a piece of vellum which I wrapped around the card front and embellished with some green crystals.

Today also kicks off the 30-day coloring challenge hosted by Kathy Racoosin of the Daily Marker which I hope to be able to keep up with. 🤞 Wish me luck! This will be my post for Day1 (Shhhh, technically I did this yesterday so we will see if I have time for another coloring today) Anyone else doing the challenge? Make sure you follow me on Instagram for the challenge as I will not be posting everything I make here on the Blog.

Hope you were inspired by my card today and want to give this fun water coloring technique a try! I appreciate the time you spent here, so thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
