Acrylics & Watercolors

I've got to say that Dawn truly inspired me with today's Make It Monday video and challenge.  I think I made my favorite card in a very long while.  I'm giddy with how much I like how it turned out.  Dawn's video was all about using your ink pads as watercolors.  She made a gorgeous card using ink pads, a brush, and water to color in a stamped image.  I took it a little different route once I got out all my supplies.  I took a look at the acrylic block I was going to use to blot my ink on and decided it would actually make a really neat background.  So, my idea was totally changed at that moment.  I positioned the block on my watercolor paper so I knew where to place it once it was all inked up.  Then I covered it with my 4 different inks and sprayed it with water.  Finally, using my inked/wet acrylic block as a stamp, I stamped it onto the water color paper.  It made the perfect night sky for the rest of my card.  I highly recommend trying your ink pads to get a water color look...totally AWESOME!
