This card was a fun experiment using watercolor mediums on glossy photo paper. I'm still experimenting but I'll put together a video soon when I have more figured out. For this card I used Brusho, dye inks and watercolor markers. The photo paper takes an indelible 'print' of the inks, which really works well with the dynamic motion of the watercolor powders and makes layering fun. The colors are so vibrant, too.
I have some brush words in this release - just a couple of larger rubber stamps and a clear set of mix-and-match holiday words for a fun variety of greetings. I'll have more in the next release - if you have any requests please let me know!
Stamps I used: Brush Poinsettia Large, Thank You, Snowflake Flourish, Cover-a-Card Diamond Maze
