					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately I have been having so much fun with watercolor either use watercolor cakes, watercolor pencils, or using dye ink pads.</p>
<p>Today, I would love to share with you a simple steps how to create this watercolor look background using <b><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com">CTMH Exclusive Inks Stamp Pads</a></b> (dye inks).</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/helengullett.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_7410.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-custom" title="" src="https://i0.wp.com/helengullett.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_7410.jpg?resize=650%2C650" alt="" width="650" height="650" /></a></p>
<p>It is quite easy to create your own watercolor look background.</p>
<ol>
<li>Add dye inks on your stamps.</li>
<li>Spray with some water using spray pen from 5-6 inches away from your stamp.</li>
<li>Multiple randomly stamping the flowers and leaves all over your background.</li>
<li>Repeat the first step with different color and shape.</li>
</ol>
<p>For this flower background, I started with the biggest shape, then fill in the space with smaller ones.</p>
<p>I would recomend you to use watercolor paper, but good thicker cardstocks will work well too. I love <b><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=5">CTMH Exclusive cardstocks</a></b>. They thick and can handle water quite well, also they have so many pretty colors <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/helengullett.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_7411.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-custom" title="" src="https://i0.wp.com/helengullett.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_7411.jpg?resize=650%2C650" alt="" width="650" height="650" /></a></p>
<p>I cut a piece banner out of <b><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=251&amp;ci=4">Black cardstock</a></b>, I stamped and heat embossed the word Thanks from <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8475">Finding the Words stamp set</a> using <b><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=972&amp;ci=1703">VersaMark Stamp Pad</a></b>, <b><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8056&amp;ci=1565">Ranger Super Fine White Embossing powder</a></b> and <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=510&amp;ci=1704">Craft Heater</a>.</p>
<p>But before I added the banner on the card, I stamped the second sentiment from the same stamp set with <b><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=49">Black Exclusing Inks Stamp Pad</a></b>.</p>
<p>I finished the first card with some <b><a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8003">Sequins Gold Assortment</a></b>.</p>
<p>And this card I link up at:</p>
