mft the micest thing

The is something so beautiful & inspiring about Stacey Yacula's stamp sets for MFT that I was inspired to practice a new cardmaking technique!

Well mixing watercolor and colored pencils isn't exactly a new technique for me but it's one that I want to practice.

For this card I did a little Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink blending on smooth watercolor paper. Then I stamped the hearts in Kitsch Flamingo as well and then watercolored with the Distress Ink to fill them in.

I did the same thing for the sweet little mouse, stamping him in Lost Shadow and watercoloring.

After the watercolor dried, I added more details with colored pencils. I love how soft and painterly the final card is so I think I will definitely keep practicing!

Pop over to the MFT blog when you have a minute to see more of The Micest Friends and January release.

Thanks for stopping by!
