Hello everyone�Welcome to Ways to Use It Thursday! Today your challenge is to use a Watercolored Background on your card. Don't panic�if you don't have watercolors you can use reinkers, distress pads, or ink sprays and lots of water. I used distress inks on an acrylic block and sprayed on lots of water to achieve the background on my sample.
Here are some other techniques in the tutorials on SCS to help get you started:

I need some thank you cards for a neighbor, so made another card today. This time the flowers are watercolored. The flowers themselves came from Lisa! Thank you again!
