The image was stamped onto Watercolor Paper with Jet Black Stazon Ink and then colored in with an Aqua Painter and Crazy Cajun, Soft Suede for the… Read More »

Happy Birthday Gary

The digital image is a free one I found on the internet and was printed out using… Read More »

I did a light watercolor wash to the front of the card using Pool Party Ink and our Aqua painters.  The Washi Tape is from… Read More »
