Big On You Watercolor Background with Markers Technique

 

Cindee and I played around with a new background idea, using Watercolor Paper, Stampin' Write markers, and a spritzer with water!

We stamped our fun watercolor cards with images from the Big On You stamp set!

This super fun "Big On You" stamp set was the perfect greeting for these bold cards!

 

HOW TO create the Speckly Watercolor Background Technique:

The addition of the speckle stamp makes it look like the Watercolor Salt Technique (see my video here), but I didn't even use salt!

We also decorated the inside of the card with a piece of Irresistibly Yours paper and a greeting from the AWESOME Lovely Amazing You stamp set!! (see it online here)

Perfect for the inside: Lovely Amazing You stamp set (see it online here)

 I really love this fun technique.. and especially the fun large greeting!

What colors will you use for this technique!?  As you can see, I've used my favorite color palette of Real Red, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Crisp Cantaloupe.

 We stamped both the front and inside greetings with a Versamark ink pad and heat embossed them with Black Embossing Powder.
