Hues of Watercolor Card

Happy World Watercolor month! Watercolor is my absolute favorite aesthetic. I decided to watercolor a different way on today’s card.

I used my Stampin’ Ink pads and a water painter to create my rainbow of arrows on this background. This was an experiment with the Delph Tile technique where I used the stripes embossing folder to create a cross cross pattern  then used an extra piece to create a mask to water color my lines.
