Getting new crafting products is always exciting! Not that I (or most of us) truly "need" anything else to add to our ever-growing collection, but it's fun nonetheless. I saw an Instagram Reel recently where someone was using the super cool Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils, and I just "had to" have them. This card pairs the use of my new watercolor pencils with some fun products from Whimsy Stamps.
I used white watercolor paper and stamped the background using the Vintage Script Background Stamp in Fossilized Amber and & Spiced Marmalade Watercolor Pencils. I also used the Distressed Backgrounds & Inksplats Stamp Set to add more color and some watercolor images by incorporating some Vintage Photo color. I used two sizes of inner frames from the Mix & Match Scalloped Rectangle Frame Dies.
I added some Solid Yellow, Solid Pumpkin and Solid Brown Baker's Twine to create my bow. I raised up the layers with 3-D Foam Tabs. The base layer is also stamped in Vintage Photo using the Vintage Script Background Stamp. I like how the Watercolor Pencils give the stamping a wet smudgy look. I'm having fun playing with them.
If you're not already a Follower here on my blog, I'd really appreciate that. It would also be pretty FAB to have you visit and also Follow me on Instagram. Thanks so much for visiting me here today, and please be sure to stop by Whimsy Stamps to see what's new. There's always something exciting and fun happening.
Happy crafting,
Karen
