Easy Watercoloring with Distress Inks (New Simon Release Blog Hop)
Hi all! Have you seen the latest Simon Says Stamp release? Such a fun release. :)
I have two stamps set and coordinating dies that I designed that are included in this release, and I wanted to use the stamps today. I created a baby card using Cuddly Critters and Cuddly Critters Accessories stamp sets, and this card is a party! Lots of stamping with a bit of simple watercoloring.
I stamped the cute critters in Versafine Onyx Black ink on Arches Hot Press watercolor paper, and then watercolored them using Distress Inks. For this card, I did very simple watercoloring, nothing too fussy. I mostly only used one color per area, instead of shading the animals.
To finish off the card, I added Star Dust Stickles, Glossy Accents on the animals’ eyes and noses, and sequins from Darice (8mm and 5mm Crystal sequins–my favorite sequins ever!).
