Make it Monday #247 - Watercolored Cards

Hello there!  I'm participating in Papertrey Ink Make it Monday #247 - Watercoloring Cards with Melissa Phillips. You might notice I changed the name of it from Watercoloring Card Sets to just Watercoloring Cards. I am a very sloooow cardmaker and so I just made one card. I had lots of fun with this technique. I may have gone a little overboard with the splattering on this card lol, but I definitely want to do more of that! I copied Melissa's style with the gingham and lace at the bottom of the card.




I didn't have any of the preprinted watercoloring papers from PTI, so I made my own with Peonies on Parade and lots of masking. I used Ranger Archival Ink so that it wouldn't bleed when I added the watercoloring on top of it. I used Distress inks in Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberries, Shabby Shutters and Crushed Olive. My sentiment is from Happy Day stamp set. I stamped the gingham in Raspberry Fizz with Super Gingham.

I'll be giving this to my Mom tomorrow! I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day!
