Hello! It’s Oleksandr Azarov with you on the Lindy’s blog today! We are glad to have you with us again this year!
Today we are going to create a simple postcard with die-cut paper elements with beautiful watercolor patterns, which we will create using Starburst sprays.
I pre-moisten the watercolor paper with clean water (so that the colors of the sprays mix better). I start adding sprays creating a watercolor background.
For the background, I chose sprays:
- Salt Water Taffy Shimmer Spray,
- Glory of the Seas Gold Shimmer Spray,
- Marigold Yellow Orange Shimmer Spray,
- TiffanyLou Blue Shimmer Spray
I dried the resulting background well and add some more splashes using a spray Salt Water Taffy Shimmer Spray,.
Now that our background has dried we will use a knife (or dies, or a cutting machine if you have them) to cut out the openwork element. I cut out the second element from white cardboard that was just a little bit smaller than the first.
I glued the two elements together and glued the design to the white card base.
For the inscription, I cut out a circle from white cardboard and added the inscription using a stamp, transparent ink and embossing powder Gimme Five Gold Detail EP. I glue the inscription to the base using bulk tape. And the card is ready.
