Watercolor technique. This card was made using watercolor paper cut to 2.5 x 3.5. Take a clear block, using a water-based die ink pad, ink directly on the block. Colors used in this card were Honey, Topiary, and Lagoon. Once the block is inked to your linking (more ink = more vibrant colors, less ink = lighter color) spray the paper with water 3 times, then spray water your block 2 times, place your inked block directly on the paper and spread horizontally until the paper is colored with ink. Air dry, or use a heat tool to dry quickly. Once ink is dried, stamp desired image over the top of the watercolor. The black paper is cut just slightly larger than the watercolor paper and popped up from the card base (4.25 x 5.5) using foam tape. The sentiment used on this card comes from Card Chatter - Sympathy (D1476). Flower image used from a retired stamp set, March Word Puzzle.
