Watercolor Background Technique

I’m totally addicted to anything watercolour related!  When I saw this card by Stampin’ Up!, I knew I wanted to recreate it… but with a twist!

Eastern Palace2-010

Check out this video I made to share how I did the background on this card using watercolour and alcohol to make this interesting technique!

The Eastern Palace Suite is a sneak peak item from our new annual catalogue (available July 1, noon MT)!  We have special bundles available until May 31, with free items included in each one.

View the bundles available until May 31 here.

I’d love to see what you come up with using this background technique!  I’m thinking there could be a cool galaxy card with it.
