Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using a watercolor backgrounds technique. I have made my card using the Delicate Forest stamp set.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the delicate tree card, you will need:
Flirty Flamingo card base – – 8¼” by 5¾” – scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso card – 5⅛” by 3⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 5” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾”
Using the largest of the Water Painter Brushes I wet the panel of Fluid 100 Paper with clean water.

I added a drop of Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo re-inkers to my Glass Mat, added a little clean water to dilute and dropped the colours onto the wet Fluid 100 panel allowing the colours to spread. The panel was set aside to dry.

When the panel was completely dry I inked up the delicate tree using Early Espresso ink and stamped it onto the Fluid 100 panel.

The sentiment, from the Ocean Friends stamp set was stamped on the panel using the same Early Espresso ink. The whole panel was then glued to the Early Espresso layer.

A length of Twine was wrapped around the panel before it was added to the Flirty Flamingo card front on Dimensionals.
