Summer Mini 2005 card question...

[kasangus]

What did they use to do the yellow background on the card on Pg. 13 on the bottom????

Did you know you can get the materials list for all the mini catalog projects?

Just go to www.stampinup.com, click on the mini catalog line. Toward the bottom of that page, there will be a link that says, "click here for supplies".

It is there for the mini catalog each quarter.

It tells the recipie for the card, but I need help in figuring out how they did that yellow background!!!

Well, the supply list includes a watercolor brush, but it doesn't look like anything was watercolored. So my guess is that they got some ink on the brush and gently tapped it to make the splatter effect. (I haven't tried that with ink, but I remember doing it with paint in a middle school art class. )

Thanks, I never thought of taping the edges and then watercoloring the inside. I knew you guys would help!

Oh, were you referring to the light yellow background behind the flower? I think that was masked and then sponged with More Mustard. It looks more like sponging than watercolor to me (and sponge daubers are also listed in the supplies). I thought your question was referring to the yellow "speckles" on the cardstock. Sorry for the confusion.
