I started out by prepping the background using watercolor paper and Distress Inks in Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, and Vintage Photo. I had a large acrylic block that I smeared the inks on, spritzed it with water, then turned the block over onto the watercolor paper. I added weight onto the block and let it set for 5 minutes, then removed the block. When it was dry, I flicked some white acrylic paint onto the background then heat set the whole paper. I stamped the Happy Father's Day stamp using VersaFine Onyx Black and clear embossing powder. I always use a stamp platform with watercolor paper due to the texture of it making it hard to get a complete stamped image the first time. I added white gel pen accents to the word "father's" and a few silver Pearl Pen dots to finish it off.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
