Watercolor Wash with Inspired Thoughts Bundle

Hey Y'all!
I wanted to share this project I made for my In Color Club members. It features Soft Succulent, and uses the Shimmer Vellum for the tree leaves.


I created a watercolor wash background using Balmy Blue, Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight, and Soft Succulent Ink refills.  I die cut the tree image from Cinnamon Cider, and then die cut the leaf images from the Soft Succulent Shimmer Vellum.


My cardbase is Basic White. I attached the watercolor piece to a layer of Soft Succulent CS embossed with the Bark embossing folder.  I stamped the sentiment in Soft Succulent onto a 1/2 strip of Basic White, and used the Lovely Label Pick a Punch to crop the ends of this piece and a 3/4 strip of Soft Succulent, then layered them together.  I added some Soft Succulent ribbon and jewels for embellishment. I love how the wash adds a pop of color!
Tips & Tricks:
  • Place a drop of re-inker onto an acrylic block and use that as your palette
  • Brush watercolor paper with plain water before adding ink to make it spread more fluidly
  • When punching small pieces in the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, use a sticky note to hold the strip in place. Also, look underneath the punch to make sure it is centered.
