If you are ever looking for a super fast yet fabulous card technique – look no further than a watercolour wash. It is so simple it’s almost embarrassing to teach it, basically you use the fatter of the two Aqua painter brushes and using classic inks scribble it across some white shimmer card stock (the shimmer coating of this paper allows you time to spread the ink and give it that nice water colour effect that a non-coated card stock would not). You then add the next colour and the next until you are happy with the colours – I would recommend no more than 3 colours as more than that gets a bit busy. Then allow the coloured card stock to dry for a few minutes before stamping the image over the top in black StazOn ink. You could of course stamp it in Versamark and use black embossing powder for a more dimensional appearance. I am going to miss the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder when it retires in 10 days time!!
