Sourdough Lovers Unite

If you are one of the many people you got into making sourdough during lockdown then this card is for you. I used Concord & 9th's Bake Shoppe dies for this card.

I cut everything out of white cardstock and used finger daubers to add color to the die cuts. This is a great way to stretch your supplies and used them. Especially if you are on a budget. Also, you can get so much depth and dimension with ink blending.

For the background I did use pattern paper, but I used a dark brown ink to shading around the edges to give it depth. You can't really see it in the picture, but in real life it makes a difference.

I then used liquid glue to adhere everything. I gold heat embossed the sentiment right onto the panel.

I got an easy card for y'all today. It involves making a super easy watercolor background. When I say super easy I mean it. Anybody can do this.

I was inspired by an artist on Instagram for this background. Here name is Farah and does amazing art. Her Instagram handle is @farah.brightart. For the background I used three Tombow Dual Brush Pens. You can use watercolors or any water reactive ink for this.

The purpose is to make a medium thick line of ink and then used a paintbrush to bring out some of the ink to make a lighter wash. You just repeat. I highly suggest you go to @farah.brightart Instagram page to watch her process. Here is a link to the process video of my card. Along the main line of colors I outlined it with a clear glitter gel pen.

For the main image and sentiment I stamped them on white cardstock and clear heat embossed them. I used Ink Road Stamps Spice Little for the image and sentiment. I then fussy cut them and used foam tape to adhere to the background.
