Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Two techniques - One card

Hi Everybody,

On todays card I have combined two very different techniques to give a really pretty look.

The background is called Caught In Crystal and the video for this will be with you soon.

The Roses are water colored with Aqua Tints from Spectrum Noir 

The stamp is the Vintage Flowers  from Make The Day Special  website and they have some beautiful stamps to choose from

The panel is layered onto black card and added with foam behind it to raise it up.

I am playing a lot with these Aqua Tints and really liking the effect and I will get better as I learn more about water coloring ... I promise !!

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  26. Your coloring with the Aqua Tints is sooo beautiful. The shading is so well done. I also really like the sentiment. I really like sentiments that are larger than a single line and have a bit more to say. I'll definitely be checking out the stamps. Another fabulous card!

  27. Lovely card Christina. Looking forward to the background video. I thinks
    K your coloring technique is pretty darn good, as I'm also working on learning to use the Spectrum Noir pens.
