Watercolor Balloons

 

I love these watercolor balloons.

I rubbed a few ink pads onto a large acrylic block and then spritzed it with water.

As the colors mixed, I stamped into the ink and then onto my paper.

A trick I learned from {Betsy Veldman}is to hold the stamp on the paper a bit longer than normal.  This allows the paper to absorb the water and ink and make a better impression.

This made a huge difference in the end result for me.

Thanks, Betsy!

 

This is the year that I and many of my friends turn 40!

I'm going to need a few more of these cards :)
