Creating a Mossy Meadow Water Coloured Reef Card Front
Now let’s get creative and bring the beauty of the mossy meadow water coloured reef to life on our greeting card front! 🌊
Smooshing Technique. Start by preparing your reinkers, water spray and a piece of watercolour paper. Choose a selection of blues and greens to mimic the vibrant colors found in a coral reef. And drops of colour onto a silicone sheet and spray liberally with water. Press the watercolour paper right onto the colourful ink puddle and keep dabbing the paper until you are happy with the results.
Allow the watercolour paper to dry naturally or use a heat gun to speed up the process.
When the watercolour paper is dry, die cut the reef image, fish, sea weed and coral from the watercolour paper.
The background of this card has been cut from Thoughtful Journey 6” x 6” patterned paper and then matted with a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock. The sentiment has been heat embossed with Basic White embossing powder onto Mossy Meadow. Punch the sentiment out with the curved label punch.
Tips for Finishing Touches
We’re almost there! Now it’s time to put the final touches on our mossy meadow water coloured reef. ✨
Adhere a 2 cm x 14.8 cm strip of the patterned paper to the bottom of the inside of the card. Adhere a couple of leftover fish, coral or seaweed.
Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment in the centre.

And finally, step back and admire your creation! Your mossy meadow water coloured reef-inspired greeting card is now complete and ready to impress.
Now it’s time for you to unleash your creativity!
