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 .
