This card was a bit outside my comfort zone: no sketch to follow and a couple water coloring techniques! But I think I like how it turned out.
For my "watercoloring" I used a heart stencil and sponged some ink over it, then I went in with my Stampin' Up! blender pen to soften the edges and give it the water colored look. Then I inked up the word stamp and spritzed some water onto it before stamping it on the card stock. Kind of a fun look I think. I also managed to use the two white circles from my "bits and pieces" stash.Challenges:
