In the video below, I’ll show you how to create this quick background with just a Water Painter brush and the ink pads you already own.

Love the dandelions? So do I . . . These are from the Shimmer Detailed Laser Cut paper. The good news is they WERE $30 a pack and they are now just $12 NZD!!! The bad news is they are only available until 2 June or until they sell out. (I realize the below list says $30, but they are $12 when you click on the link):
