Watercolor Theme With Blended Inks!
Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week and for this month, this is our theme:
I used some vibrant colors this week for my watercolored layer. Once my ink colors were blended in, I dropped drops of water to create the splatters you see:
Once the drops of water are added, they spread on their own to achieve these results. How neat!
