This week at the
Hambo Hoedown the challenge is all about watercolor. I decided to use watercolor to make a background for my card. The technique is call Watercolor Wash Background and you can find the directions at the
Techniques Zone. Basically you scribble water based markers on a non-stick surface. (I used wax paper) and spritz over it with water. Then place your cardstock on top of the water spritzed marker colors and rub gently with your fingertips to make your background. Here's my card...
I was going to water color the image too, but decided to paper piece it instead. I think it looks better against the background. I used Hambo rubber stamps
Duck Umbrella and
Sunshine & Happiness. This was a fun challenge and I tried a new to me technique!
The card is adorable. Nice colors. It remindes me fo the shaving cream technique. Rose
