CDD Keeping Cool Linky Party

Happy Monday everyone ! 

It is the second week of the

Craft It Up & Link It Up 

"Keeping Cool" Linky Party

Share with us all your

 keeping cool crafty creations. 

Think water, ice cream or anything you can think of.

I was super happy to have a bit of free time , my hubby was on vacation ( as you can imagine we were super busy all week) ! 

I did a water colored background shaker card 

(that is a mouthful,lol) .

As I warned you I will be using the beautiful 

CDD

Fancy Frames Dies a lot !!!! 

I really can't help myself ! 

I began by getting my water colors and doing the

smooshing technique 

( not sure if that is correct ,lol ) .
Basically , you get the colors you will be using ,

in my case I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks

in Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed 

and I rub a bit of the ink directly onto my craft mat ,

then I spray a bit of clean water over the inked areas .

Next, I place my water color paper over the

watery ink on my craft mat .

I repeat the process a couple more times ,

until I achieve the desired water colored background .

I do let the water color dry in between . 

I also did the same technique for the beach waves ,

for the waves I used 

Tim Holtz 

Distress Inks in

Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, 

and a small amount of 

Peacock Feathers. 

 I used the CDD
Outdoor Landscape dies
to die cut my waves .
