Watercolor has been a fast and growing trend in the scrapbook industry. While I am not opposed to getting a little messy in my creative space, I am not adept at using certain mediums. Water color is one of those. Whether you are new to the watercolor technique or you just don’t want to deal with a wet medium, there is another option for you. In essence, you can simply cheat on the watercolor trend by choosing supplies with a watercolor look.
Just Squish Them by Christy Strickler |Supplies Patterned Paper, DieCuts, Stickers, Brad: Amy Tangerine; Punch: Martha Stewart; Letters: American Crafts; Tape: Freckled Fawn
This layout features a photo of my son using his feet to squish open plastic Easter eggs. Watercolor paper and elements are perfect to support the light playful feel and suggest it’s a spring page. Instead of making my own watercolor supplies, I chose to work with paper and embellishments from an Amy Tangerine collection. Using pre-made items not only saved me from cleaning up a mess, they also saved me time. There was no wait for the project to dry plus, I worked within a single collection. Choosing coordinating supplies was a breeze.
