Handcrafted by Helen: Distress Ink water colour Panel card

This card was a fairly easy card to make, and a great one to have a go at if you are new to using distress inks to watercolour.

I started off by stamping the two of the flower stamps from the Hennah Elements stamp set with versamark ink and embossing them with white embossing powder onto watercolour paper.

I then did a wash of water colour over the entire piece with picked raspberry and squeezed lemonade distress inks. I took a wet baby wipe and rubbed some of the colour off where the flowers were, then put a heavier wash of the picked raspberry ink over the flowers.

I trimmed the panel down and mounted it onto some hot pink card and then onto my card base. I finished it off by making a banner with a sentiment, put a few droplets around the sentiment and it was done!
