So I just couldn't resist sneaking in one more "Christmas in July" card before the month closes out. I used my new Wendy Vecchi Blendable Inks and her "A Million Thanks" stamp/die set from the box of goodies Ranger Ink recently sent me. (See the photo below for all SIX of the newly launched ink colors from Wendy Vecchi and Ranger Ink.)
To achieve the "watercolor look" on my card I went over the stamped portions with a wet paintbrush to bleed the ink a little. I'm loving the way it turned out.
Supplies and tools:
- Wendy Vecchi A Million Thanks Stamp/Die/Stencil set (Ranger)
- These colors of Wendy Vecchi Blendable Dye Ink
- Canson Watercolor Paper
- Scallop Basic Edge Dies (My Favorite Things)
- Black Soot Distress Oxide (Ranger)
- Burlap String
The Cat's Pajamas - Christmas in July
Merry Little Christmas - Anything Christmas Goes
Simon Says - Bright and Cheerful
Just Add Ink - Sketch below - (I flipped it)
