Scrapbook Circle - Watercolor Your Crate Paper Floral Paper

Are you loving the July Scrapbook Circle kit You are My Favorite? The patterned papers are so cool! I especially loved the floral outline sheet from the Craft Market collection. I bought the paper Add On so I could have two sheets :) I kept one blank and the other I watercolored. I saw this technique on Jennifer McGuire's blog. All you need are Tim Holtz Distress inks, a craft mat and a water brush.

Take a Distress ink and rub a bit of it on the craft mat.

Then take your water brush or a regular brush dipped and water and add it to the ink until it turns watery.

Then use that watery ink to watercolor your paper.

The more water you add, the more watery your end result will be.

I went back over some flowers that were very light.

Instead of journaling I used the Shimelle cardstock stickers.
