I hope you enjoy my creation.

For my project, I am sharing a stunning water colored card with an Emboss Resist technique that showcases the A Touch of Ink (item# 155233) stamp set that you will be able to earn FREE with a $100 product purchase during our upcoming Sale-a-Bration promotion (between January 5-February 28, 2021).
This project was inspired by one created by Gail Ellis.

To create the framed water colored background, I used some painter’s tape to mask off the border. I did find while playing that I had best results when I did not get too much moisture along the edge of the tape. If it is too moist the ink bleeds along the embossed images below the tape.
Did you noticed the super cool texture on the Coastal Cabana layer? This was created with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing folder (item# 154317) that will be available as part of the January-June Mini catalog release January 5, 2021. I can already tell this will be one of my favorites!

For the inside sentiment I pull in the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set (item# 154507) that will also be available as part of the January-June Mini catalog release January 5, 2021. This wonderful word set with sentiments for both the outside and inside of your cards will be a must have.
Card Layers:
- 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ (folded in half) Thick White cardstock
- 5-1/4″ x 4″ Coastal Cabana cardstock- emboss
- 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ Watercolor paper
- Scraps Watercolor paper- fussy cutting & die-cutting
- 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ Coastal Cabana cardstock (inside)
- 4-3/8″ x 3-1/8″ Whisper White cardstock (inside)
