LETS CRAFT & CREATE CHALLENGE #125 MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

Hello There Crafty Friends,
I want to let you all know there is a new challenge starting today over at
LET'S CRAFT AND CREATE
The theme for this challenge is...Make Your Own Background
There is a great prize to be won too, so come on and join us in the fun!

Here is my inspiration card for the challenge...

Here's what I used to make my card...

Canson Watercolor Paper

Yasutomo Niji Pearlescent Watercolor Paint 

LolliZ White Gel Pen

Unbranded Clear Stamps - Fairies and Sentiment

We R Memory Keepers Precision Press Stamping Tool

Memento Dew Drop 'Tuxedo Black' Ink Pad

Prima Marketing Distressing Tool

White/Blue Cardstock Paper

Here's how I made it...This was my first try at watercolor painting...

 I made the card with white paper, then cut a small piece of watercolor paper the size of my card. With paintbrushes, I made light strokes back and forth on the paper with different colors, to make it look like the sky. I added water to the paintbrush to go over areas when needed for blending. After the paint dried, my hubby helped me place the fairies and sentiment where we wanted in the stamping tool. Then after adding the ink to them, they were stamped onto the paper. After letting the ink dry, I used the distressing tool around the paper. I then cut a piece of blue paper and distressed around it as well. Next I taped the blue paper slightly slanted left onto the top left of the card. Then taped the watercolor paper onto the center of the card.

That's my DT card. I hope you like it and it gives you some inspiration.

Happy Crafty Hugs,
Sherry x
