Ken Oliver Crafts & Impression Obsession Blog Hop



You should have just come from the very talented artist and also my very good friend Dina

We have some beautiful projects to share AND PRIZES to give away!


This is the card I created for this hop, here are the details:

  • Tap a little bit of Ultramarine Blue Color Burst on a piece of watercolor cardstock, spray water as much or as little as you want, I wanted a soft ground so I sprayed a good amount of water. 
  • Tap a bit of Terra Verte Color Burst  on the bottom area of your watercolor panel, spray water and let it dry. I wanted this side a bit darker, so I didn't add much water.
  • On another piece of watercolor repeat the process with both colors. At this point I used the edges of the Ultramarine Blue side, love the little dot and splashes and used it to die-the clouds. 
  • I used the green area to die-cut Grass Border, this one was a lot lighter than the main panel to create a contrast.
  • I used Alizarin Crimson Color Burst for the heart balloons.
  • I stamped the image from Balloon Bouquet and Bunches of Love sentiment on the watercolor panel in Lamp Black Ink, then I stamped it on another piece and cut out the girls and heart balloons.
  • I added all the pieces to a 6"x 6" card base. The watercolor panel is 5.5" x 5.5".
