This week for Tag it Tuesday we are exploring a faux watercolor technique. If you don’t know how to watercolor or don’t feel confident in your ability, this technique will provide the look of a painted image.
Stamping your image and then using a water brush to move the ink around simulates the look of a watercolored image. I find this technique playful and relaxing without the stress of painting from scratch.

Mixed media tag making that was inspired by the craft materials.
As a crafter, it is fun to just be inspired by your materials and craft with them. This is the case for this mixed media tag. I was inspired by a washi tape sticker and went from there. In the end, I actually changed the washi sticker I was going to use with a different one. Sometimes that is just how crafting goes.
Video Tutorial:
Here is a closer look at the tag. There is a lot of color and different textures. The Vintage Photo ink is showing darker in the photograph than the actual finished product.

Make a lovely greeting card with Transfer Me sheets from Dress My Craft. #affiliate #dressmycraft
from Dress My Craft
This lovely card was made using Transfer Me sheets from Dress My Craft. They are so fun to work with and the process is a bit addictive. With over 300 different designs you are sure to find one to suit your needs.
This is one of the transfer sheets I used to make my greeting card.
After working with the transfer sheets, I coordinated colored cardstock and a butterfly I had in my stash. Using a stamp that says “Just A Note” made the card so useful for a variety of different occasions. Tape runner and foam tape helped put it easily altogether.
