Distress Ink Watercoloring with Gerda Steiner Designs Nerdy Bunny

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a card and video featuring watercolor with Distress Inks and Spectrum Noir Colored Pencils. The image is the Nerdy Bunny from Gerda Steiner Designs and is the February Progressive Challenge image. Check out the video for more on how I made this card.

Tips from this card/video:

Apply the Distress ink directly to the paper to get a more vibrant watercolor.

Stamp with Distress ink and then use a waterbrush to pull color into the image to create a watercolor look
