Hi my peachy friends! Today is my turn to take over the Peachy Keen Blog for this week's Trendspotting feature ~ Vintage/Shabby Chic. This look has been around for a long time and it's still going strong. To which I'm very happy for :)
I'm excited to show you my project, but first I want to share something. Years ago I was really into tole painting, pen and ink with watercolor and all things wood crafts. In fact I used to make and sell all my goods at craft fairs and holiday boutiques. At some point I had put my paint brushes away and started paper crafting, and never thought the two would ever meet. Oh I was so wrong! :) I, along with a lot of other crafty friends from the craft community (maybe you too) took a watercolor class this past week. Oh my goodness, the flood gates of my memory have opened up! lol!
Here's what I did with one of my favorite sets, a few stamp pads, and some water.
I first stamped my image with Stampin' Up ink then used a brush with some water to pull and soften the ink eges.
I hope you enjoyed my favorite new, "old" technique.

This technique is so pretty. I have the Craft Ink that takes longer to dry...I will have to check how it does with water. Beautiful job on your card. I can only imagine all of the wonderful projects you created back in the day.
