Hi all! Kristina here. For today’s card, I wanted to do some watercolor painting with Distress Reinkers. I love how concentrated and vibrant the colors are, especially Candied Apple since some red watercolor can fade back to a pink (this one doesn’t!)

I chose the Delicate Outline Flowers Background stamp and stamped it on watercolor paper in waterproof black ink. Then I started painting with four Distress colors: Candied Apple, Worn Lipstick, Peeled Paint, and Weathered Wood.

Be sure to watch the video below to see how the painting was completed.

To finish off the card, I used the A2 Thin Frames die set to cut down the watercolor panel, and to create a thin gold frame (out of matte gold cardstock). The greeting was cut using the Thanks Frame dies.

Thanks for stopping by!
