Hi everyone, it’s Christine with lots of color!
I really enjoy creating backgrounds – So I’ll show you 2 step-by-step tutorials to get fun and colorful backgrounds for your cards with daubers. I have some distress stain daubers – but I guess the Hero Arts daubers work just as well. I’d be glad if someone tried them out with the following techniques and let me know 😉
1) The glossy-watercolor-technique
What you need:
– Glossy photo-paper
– some daubers (different colors)
– stamps
– black ink
I decided to use a white card base and added a sentiment from “my words”. I embossed the circle and cut it out. “Art” is directly stamped onto the background.
I LOVE that effect!
2) Powerfully dab the daubers onto the paper. The embossing will resist the ink.
That’s it! Easy, eh?
Great ideas! I love the vivid colors!
Wow! Awesome techniques! Both cards are fabulous!

How fun. Love them. Thanks for sharing these with us. I would never have thought to do something like this. I like it so much better than the 'straw-blowing method' using reinkers.
WOW!! great techniques..I think I have some GLOSSY photo paper around here:)
Fabulous effects Cristine!!!
Very cool! Love your cards!
