It’s Back to School Season and my card today goes along with Just for Fun’s August Challenge. I decided to go with at Art Class theme and an encouraging sentiment. I know that schools start so early a lot of places, but I think this would be a great time to send a card to a college student who might be missing home.
I used a watercolor wash for the background. I recall that when I made it a couple weeks ago, I thought the colors were deeper than I wanted, so I used a paper towel to mop up some of the excess. This left a blotchy look that I kind of like! I die cut the background.
I stamped my brushes and then paper pieced them with scraps of patterned papers. I colored the brush tips with watercolor markers and put Wink of Stella over top. I finished off the card by adding glitter Nuvo drops.
Supplies: Just for Fun Rubber stamps Paint Brushes, Dream Big sentiment, Versafine Onyx Black ink, Koi pan watercolors, Nuvo crystal drops Clear glitter, Spellbinders Fancy Edge Rectangle dies.
