Watercolored background

Spending time with Altenew is always a pleasure!

Die Cut Divas theme for the month of August is "watercolor real or faux".

"Watercolor real or faux" includes splattering of water on distress inked panels, application of a water spritzed stencil to pull up distress inks from a distress inked panel and smooshed backgrounds, so there's lots of techniques you can go with for watercolor real or faux. We'll leave it up to you.

Here is my project-

I like making watercolor backgrounds-water coloring images, not so much. So, here is a background I did with Brushos, and overlaid the Altenew die over it! Easy peasy!

Here is the materials list for this card-

Dies: Spring Shower Cover Die (Altenew), Fancy Tags Two (Spellbinders).
Stamps: sentiment (Dotted Diamonds-Altenew), Versafine Onyx ink.
Paper: background water colored with Brushos, Neenah Solar White cs.
