New Home ~ Watercolor Frame Card

 Hello and welcome.  Today, I am sharing a watercolor frame style card with a new home theme.  This stamp is one large background for a perfect background.

Sentiment:
New home.  New beginning.  New memories.

This is a perfect card to give someone for a house warming.  The watercolor background and the sentiment work great together, with or without a frame on the front.

I made a video tutorial for this project.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for making this watercolor frame new home card.  To begin, stamp using waterproof ink onto watercolor cardstock.  The smooth side of watercolor paper is best for stamping if there is an option for that with your paper.  Heat set the ink and then add water to the middle panel section.  Then, dab shades of pink over the water.  Repeat for different color sections, allowing the color to move and blend together.  Also, dab any puddles with a paper towel and then heat set the watercolor.  Then layer the background with extra tacky tape, over the card base.  Next, trim or die-cut a frame to go over the background.  Add a sentiment tag, to finish.

Here is a closer look.
