I have created a card before with the Ocean Swell Memory Box Die, but I was excited to play again and add some other Memory Box dies I had like Crusty Crab and Small Ringlets.

I have been watching some of my crafty friends and their watercoloring, and I am reminded that I need to slow down and layer it up 🙂 That is what I played with here. Layering different Distress Ink colors, heat setting in between sometimes. Sometimes laying down the water first and letting the ink flow around. It was fun to see it come alive.

    Jenn, I saw your GORGEOUS card among the SSS Wednesday challenge DT collection, and I just had to come over and tell you how striking it is. Jaw droppingly (is that a term?) fabulous. Your watercoloring with distress inks is awesome. I am truly inspired. Thanks for this pearl in my day!
