Stamplorations Sketch and AWDML



It's STAMPlorations Sketch time.  This challenge lasts for 2 weeks and the winner will be announced June 1.

I tried another water color technique I came across.  I inked up the inside of an embossing folder, spritzed with water, and laid the paper onto the wet ink.  I love this end result - it is very fun!  Meanwhile, I used STAMPlorations Trendy Feathers.







It is also A Walk Down Memory Lane day.  I went ahead and made another card with the same technique and I have a tutorial over on the blog.




Thanks for stopping by~

Wonderful cards Vicki. I absolutely love the water colored cards. The colors are gorgeous. Did you run it through the machine to emboss it, or just lay the paper on top of it and let it soak up the ink? Your bows are always so beautiful too!
