Hi again! I’m Vickie Y and excited to share another card as the April guest designer.
Last week I mentioned in my intro that I live in a resort town. Our town is situated between two man-made recreational lakes. Growing up we spent a lot of time playing, waterskiing, and boating on each lake. When I saw the Live Love Lake stampset I knew it would provide lots of special memories and creative FUN!
For my card, I used one of my favorite watercolor background techniques using an acrylic block, inks, and a water spray bottle, along with watercolor cardstock.
I used the D2BATropicalInk Cubes to ink up the acrylic block (see below), then spritzed it with water, and smooshed it down onto the watercolor cardstock and let it sit for a minute or two before lifting it. I let the cardstock air dry (a heat tool can be used to speed up the drying process).
Once the ink was dry, I trimmed the panel and then used the Dare 2BArtzyTotallyBlackPremiumink to stamp the images and sentiment. I layered the stamped panel over the Dare 2B Artzy Slate designer paper from the D2BA DoodlesVarietyPaperPack and dark blue card base.

Hi Artzy friends – Who wants to go out for coffee? I prefer iced anytime, (iced mocha!), but especially when the weather is in the 90’s, as it’s been here in Ohio for the past few days! I created this card inviting a friend to get together using the Center Step die set from Dare 2B Artzy. I...
