It was time to play with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies and make some Swirly Scribbles Flowers on a watercolored background. Once you cut out the flower pieces with the Big Shot, just glue them down with tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue or the Fine Tip Glue Pen. Then add any greeting you like for the occasion and any embellishments. I like to cut out extra scribbles to use another time.
It’s always best to use Watercolor Paper if you are going to do any watercoloring, but perhaps the next best thing is our Shimmery White Cardstock. You can barely see the watercoloring on my card behind the flowers. It is very light and subtle. I used Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, and Soft Sky inks with my Aqua Painter to pick up the color. There’s no skill to it, honestly, it’s just picking up the ink with the Aqua Painter and smearing it on the cardstock in each area! Anyone can do it! The Shimmery White Cardstock is so beautiful with its very subtle shimmer and glimmer! You can perhaps see it in this photograph at the top of the card.
For some accents on the card, I turned to the new Brights Enamel Shapes . These are small and flat, great for mailing, and oh so pretty. They come in each Color Family, too, so you can have any color you need, plus Metallic. I also used the White Perfect Accents. These can even be colored with Sharpies if you like.
For the little bit of stamping on the card, I used the leaves from the Swirly Bird Photopolymer Stamp Set and a small “Hello” greeting, making this a card for any friendly occasion, from the Crazy About You Photopolymer Stamp Set. Almost any greeting you could need is in this set and you can make your own combinations since the words are separate from each other.
