Skipping Stones Design blog hop

Hi stampers! 
Welcome to the first Skipping Stones Design Tip/Technique blog hop! I am so excited to be hopping over the other team member's blogs and seeing all the wonderful creations and tips and techniques. 
If you started the blog hop from the Skipping Stones Design blog, then you probably ended up here from Anja's blog and her wonderful project. 
I have another project to share with you, for my card I used the Heartfelt stamp set and did watercolor wash background. This technique is pretty easy, all you need it watercolor brush, watercolor paper, heat gun and some watercolors. For mine I used Kuretake watercolors.
I taped my watercolor paper with Frog tape to my working surface and applied generous amount of water using 1 1/2" watercolor wash paint brush. Then using smaller round brush I applied the colors and let them run into each other, then using my heat gun I dried the background. Then using small brush and some more watercolors I did some splatters and let it dry. When it was completely dry I stamped my image and sentiment and embossed it with white embossing powder and then added the sequins and the ribbon. Lastly I adhered my panel onto my card base ;)
