We will be using beautiful Lindy’s Starburst Sprays: Cathedral Pines Green, Marigold Yellow Orange, Dark Chocolate Truffle, Autumn Maple Crimson Magical Shaker and U So Fine! Embossing Powders, as well as some stamps, embellishments, lovely paper come in handy… And the original funny card will be ready! Our work takes around one hour! Let’s go!
Process video so you can watch and create the card along with me
Basic process
- Cut out a piece of watercolor paper for the background
- Spray on the ink pad some Lindy’s Sprays, first Marigold Yellow Orange, then Cathedral Pines Green
- Apply the paper to the wet surface creating beautiful prints. Let it dry
- Spray brown Dark Chocolate Truffle on the ink pad and color the paper slightly again
- Color any few stamps you have on the Ink Spray Pad and make stamps on the background
