Sending Smiles | Video

I love watercolor backgrounds - I find them to be so soft and pretty.  And I love the Liquid Colors, because they are so versatile in the pigmentation.

 For today's card, I've used the Rustic Rose Liquid Color to create the background.  In the process video, I show you how I get variation in color - both by building up sections of the the actual watercoloring, and by using various strengths of the liquid color to flick over the surface.


On top of the watercolor background, I've added some Sparkle Silk splatter, a couple of banners, and a baby envelope die cut with a sentiment insert that is heat embossed in Copper.  A few pearls added the finishing touch to the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Much love,

Have you heard about the new Liquid Colors from Fun Stampers Journey?  They look so incredible, and fun to play with.  In the video below, Kim Kesti, FSJ's Design Concept Manager, spotlights this new product.  

These are on my wishlist for sure!  (Boy that list gets bigger, and bigger, each day!)  I've linked all of the Liquid Colors, along with the other supplies Kim used at the bottom of this post.  Remember that I will be drawing a winner from all of those who placed an order, of $100 or more, from my online shop in July.  The winner will get a free stamp set of their choice.  So, if you were to purchase the Liquid Colors bundle, Dauber Dowel Set, and Media Mister, you would be entered for a chance to win - perhaps the World Map stamp Kim showed?
