I am really excited for this months Little Tangles card challenge!
Watercolor is one thing that I always watched other people do and thought "Man that looks easier than most techniques". Boy was I wrong, but I'm glad this challenge gave me the push I needed to keep trying watercolor until I achieved the look I wanted.
All of these cards were made using Distress Inks as watercolors. For this technique I just rubbed my ink pad on my craft mat, spritzed some water on the color, and painted with it. I had better luck with this technique than I did with actual watercolors.
I hope that this inspires you to create a card using watercolors!
Please submit your card HERE. The winner will receive a Neat and Tangled stamp set of their choice- for more details please visit the Little Tangles blog!

Just found your blog. Love it! Very nice work. My favorite technique is heat embossing. I love the different looks I can achieve with just some embossing powder. :-) Very generous of you. Have a great day! Laura lldavis1 at gmail dot com
