Carta Bella - Playground at the zoo

For this layout I decided to play with watercolors in the background. I thought it would be a nice fit with these Carta Bella Hello Again papers that came with the Scraptastic August kit. I tried to create some kind of ombre effect, which is not so easy as it seems. Also because the cardstock gets bubbly quickly when you use too much water. But in the end it turned out ok.




Carta Bella Hello Again: Small Floral paper, Take Note paper, Chit Chat paper, Journaling Cards paper
Ormolu flair
Studio Calico: Sequins, Cork arrows
Dear Lizzy: Thickers Treasure
Jillibean Soup: Alphabeans Blueberry Teal
Fancy Pants Memories Captured: Label sticker
Scraptastic die cut
Watercolors

    I think you nailed the effect. I think the paper tends to flatten out when it dries. If not, just chalk it up to distressing effects?

      I used the Simply Art watercolor paint cakes on regular cardstock. Just be careful to not make it too wet, but it will get a little bubbly anyway.
