Do you like the watercolour look, but can’t watercolour? Did you know there is an easy option?
Today’s Idea: ‘Watercolour’ without Watercolouring!
Today’s card uses layering floral stencils which have the finished look of watercolour flowers and I decided to make these bright and fun.

And I don’t think there is a brighter pink than this one 😉, and today I enjoyed mixing it up with a layer of red ink!
BONUS IDEA: Did you know that there are also ‘layering stamps‘ that will also give you the watercolour look by ink blending? So many options!

Do you like this fun background? I used another layering stencil set called Modern Monsteras. And, I was surprised at how quickly this card came together, ink blending is such fun and is very easy to do!

PRO TIP:
If you are a fan of organizing then check out these new labels that Altenew has recently released. I store my ink pads ‘stacked’ in the colour families and now I can easily see which colour each ink pad is without having to lift each one. I am now wondering why I have never done this before… Doh! And THESE ONES are my favourite set as they have MOST of the colour names in one pack!
I hope you are inspired to create some bright watercolour flowers! Crafty hugs,
