CAS54- Thinking of Spring Watercolored in under 5 minutes!

Photo Details

Poster: girlgeek101

These are for the CAS54 - Wishing for Spring challenge. Nothing can be more motivating for me than thinking of spring (smiles)! In these I used a technique that I truly adore; take a few Ranger distressed inks and ink up a stamp from different angles (use at least three colors on the same stamp)...then mist the whole stamp with a fine mist of water....and stamp away. It's the easiest and quickest way to get a lovely watercolor effect, and it works EVERY time!

Enjoy!
