Spritzing Technique!

 

Enjoy Creativity

CASEing Technique—Spritzing

There are so many techniques to give your card a watercolor effect, and spritzing is an easy way to make that happen!  A good example of a stamping/spritzing hybrid technique is the So Sorry card above—so let’s CASE it! We can CASE the technique while creating a completely different card, and that’s what we did with the Thank You card.  Start with Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper to help the watercolor move more naturally. Once you stamp the image, spritz it with the Stampin’ Spritzer, and then stamp the image again with the desired ink. Make sure it’s completely dry before you cut the image to obtain the desired format for your card. And voilà—you’ve got a fun, abstract watercolor look! Try CASEing this technique and post your “water-colorful” creation on social media.

For this second card I did a different embossed background and applied some ink to the surface for definition.  Two layered DSP tags and another bit of DSP this time in the bottom left corner.

If you haven’t noticed, we love complementing color combinations. And what better place to find them than in the annual catalog with the In Colors! We decided to use the 2023–2025 In Colors because we LOVE how they pair with the existing Neutrals family. So we took cards from the 2024–2025 Annual Catalog and made new samples with those In Colors and different products. Once we knew which colors we wanted, we showcased the Thoughtful Journey Bundle. While Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat are the center of attention, Early Espresso, Misty Moonlight, and Mossy Meadow make the perfect foundation to highlight each of the In Colors. Do you have a color combination you like? Try using that color scheme in a different way to really make them pop.
