Together from Neat and Tangled

Today we're sharing a couple cards created with the Together stamp and die from Neat and Tangled.  We combined these with a simple watercolor background using Distress Inks.  Super fun, and super easy!

We created  the striped, watercolor background above, using some Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  We placed the inks on a non-porous surface.  We picked up the ink with a wet, flat brush, and painted striped lines (approximately 1 inch wide) alternating the colors.  We dried the paper with our heat tool (we're too impatient to wait), then painted a second (darker layer) repeating this process until we had a color and blend we were happy with.

We also used Distress Ink for the pink card shown above.  We placed the ink on a non-porous surface.  We picked up the ink with a wet, flat brush, and painted 2/3 of the watercolor paper.  We dried the paper with our heat tool (we're too impatient to wait), then painted a second (darker layer) starting approximately 1/2 inch from where we started the first layer of color.  We repeated this process, drying the paper after each layer, then starting the next layer approximately 1/2 inch down from the last layer, until the sheet was  covered with 1/2 inch stripes.
