I love creating custom colors with distress inks. Can you believe that I only used two colors (this and this) and this stencil to create the background?
I didn’t have to use watercolor paper for the card panel and tag because I wasn’t going to use any water, but I love the texture from the paper and this is by far the best watercolor paper I have found and it’s pre cut… A lazy girl’s dream, lol… I have fallen in love with the sticky embossing powder…. Makes applying glitter so easy. And how adorable is that heart balloon. Yup, a coordinating die. See? I am sooo lazy! he he.
So there you have it! I hope you enjoyed the video! I appreciate you all soo much! Thanks so much for popping by!
