I'm playing along with CASology's challenge this week: toy. I wasn't sure what to use for my inspiration until I started looking through some die cut pieces and found the bicycle. I decided to take some of the colors from the flowers to watercolor my cardbase with distress inks.
My craft table is covered with contact paper, so I just rubbed my ink pad directly onto the table, sprayed some water, mixed it around, and painted stripes. I use Strathmore watercolor postcards and they are 140 lbs. Because I'm impatient, I use my heat tool to speed the drying process. Then I stamped my sentiment and added my bicycle.
What do you think?
