<p>My card is inspired by Heather&#8217;s reverse watercoloring technique. This technique is fun and easy to do. Check it out her tutorial <a href="https://youtu.be/mB37Z8bIXsY"><strong>here</strong></a>.</p>
<p>I used Canson Watercolor paper as the card base. Using MISTI, I stamped the image from Unity Stamp Co &#8211; May SOTM Kit with Versafine Onyx Black ink on the card. Then using Craft Heater to dry the stamped image.</p>
<p>Then I colored the card used Gansai Tambi watercolor and medium round brush. It was fun and those rainbow colors bring so much happiness <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>It is a quick, one layer card techniqur if you wanna try&#8230; And did I also mention, fun? <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
