Little Tangles: Watercolor + GIVEAWAY

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!

  5. I think you are doing good with your watercoloring. I sometimes struggle with it too. In addition I like stamping and die cutting.
