It's bright and sunny this morning and I am hoping it will turn into a nice warm day! I'm sure spring is coming, but sometimes it seems like it is taking forever to arrive. For this card, I attempted the water stamping technique from Technique Tuesday and while I am sure it can be a stunning technique I had such a hard time with it! I think I didn't use the correct inks the first couple times (yes, I had to try about 5 times before actually getting it to work a little) and then I used some that were too light and it didn't show up very well in some places. In real life, you can see that it worked, but it's hard to tell in the picture. The picture below shows it better. I used a damask stamp if that helps you to find it.
Challenges:
Technique Time Tuesday--water stamping
Fab n Funky #166-spring colors

Charisma Cardz #15--tags
The Sweet Stop Sketches #206--sketch
Tuesday Alchemy--in the garden + gold (I gold embossed the butterflies and sentiment, used a gold eyelet and gold thread to tie on the tag)
Supplies:

Dies: Spellbinders scalloped tags

Thanks for joining us at Technique Time Tuesday! I really like the background effect with the waterstamping and think you did a great job with the damask stamp! :)
The water stamping really is a technique that can be tricky, but you mastered it pretty well as I see it! The idea of using that technique for the sky background is great!

Love the subtle water stamping, you can see it and it looks great. I'm glad you kept trying, it was worth it. I've often found the card makes a big difference to this technique, just as much as the inks. Thank you for joining us at TTT.
I saw the water stamping! This is a beautiful card and they are better in person than in the photos! I really like your tag and sentiment too! Thank you so much for joining us at Technique Time Tuesday! :)
