Happy Wednesday, Crafty Friends!
Today, Pinkfresh Studio and Waffle Flower are hosting an Instagram Hop to showcase their amazing stencils, water media mat, new stenciling mats, and coordinating brush holders. Come join us for a little creative fun!
Okay, when I am in the craft zone my craft space shrinks from its normal 6 feet space to a mere 12x12 space. And then the next thing I know, I need to clear space so that I can ink a background, do stenciling work or add a few watercolor splatters. Yeah, this is not going to work. Introducing the water media mat from Waffle Flower. Now, the water media mat from Waffle Flower has been out for a little over a year; however, the mat is new to me (VIDEO HERE). The water media mat is perfect for clearing a clean space so that I can do a technique or two without clearing my entire workspace. The water media mat has a place to fit a 9x12 sheet of watercolor paper, or other paper medium. There is also a spot to hold your watercolors, including smooshing your mini-inks into the square tray. One of the downsides is that this mat does stain. The mat is meant to be used, so if a stained mat would drive you crazy then this might not be ideal for you.
To create my card, I started by using Waffle Flower's Big Dots stencil to create a rainbow of color. I then applied glitter paste on top to add a little sparkle. While the panel was drying, I diecut the word THANK using Heather's Uppercase Alphas from white and colored cardstock for the outlines. The word You is diecut from Pinkfresh Studio's Phrase Builder: You dies. I then layered my sentiment onto the rainbow panel and adhered this to an A2 top folding card base. And my rainbow THANK You card is complete. Simple but pretty.
