Today's card is one for fans of yellow!
Do you like doing a colour wash for the background of your cards? The thing I like about colour washing is the unpredictable nature. So, I watercoloured this side first, but turned it over to try again because I felt it was a bit too streaky. I felt I did better on the other side, until I experimented with dripping drops of reinker directly on the paper. No matter how much water I used, I had these blobs across the card. I must have saturated the card stock (which by the way is Shimmery White) quite a bit because when I turned it over, there were these watermarks on the left and on the right. I decided I quite like the effect, so I ended up using this side!
The words, heat embossed in White, are from Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052). The flecks of gold were achieved through flicking Wink of Stella in Gold which Stampin' Up! used to carry stock of.
