Watercolor card



     Here is another card from this weekend.  It is done with a watercolor technique called Bokeh.  The watercolor paper is mounted onto Bermuda Bay card stock.  The front of the card is embossed with the Decorative Dots embossing folder.

     To do the watercolor I wet the watercolor paper till it was quite wet then dropped drops of ink refills so the color would run on the wet paper.  While the ink was still wet, I sprinkled table salt on the surface and let it dry.  When the paper was dry, I sponged white circles all over the surface.
The materials I used are as follows:

Stampin' Up!:
Bermuda Bay card stock
Tempting Turquoise Ink refill
Bravo Burgundy Ink refill
Whisper White craft ink pad
Sponge dauber

Non Stampin' Up!:
Watercolor paper
White card stock

Thank you to all the Stampin' Up Demonstrators and other Card Makers who have shared this technique on Pinterest and You Tube!  It is so much fun!
