I wanted to try my hand at creating a "watercolor background" but only on a portion of the card -- to create a focal point or to highlight a sentiment. Here I used a painted 3 colors of ink using a water brush on watercolor paper.
From black cardstock, I die-cut 4 layers of the sentiment, "Happy" and adhered them together for dimension. After making sure that the background is dry, I heat embossed the "Birthday" sentiment using black embossing powder and embossing ink.
I used a black card base for a dramatic effect.
I am entering this card to the CAS Colours and Sketches Challenge. The challenge this week is to focus on a central sentiment.
