I decided to watercolor these beautiful images with several Hero Arts Reactive Inks. I first stamped all my images in INTENS-ified Black Ink onto Bristol Smooth cardstock. I then watercolored the images with Reactive Inks. When I finished coloring all the images I then die cut them out with the matching dies.
Next, I ink blended the front of a slimline white card base with Splash and Blue Hawaii Reactive Ink. I then placed the new Water Flow Slimline Stencil over the card front and ink blended again with Splash and Blue Hawaii inks.
Next, I adhered my images to my card front with foam adhesive. Lastly, I finished my card by stamping a sentiment in INTESN-ified Black Ink.
