Here is my card for the current theme. I have combined the camouflaging die cuts technique with the water color burst effect. 

I also have a pictorial for making this card. 

The supplies needed - 

Water color paper/Heavy weight Card stock

Distress ink pads

Masking tape

Non stick mat

Acrylic block

Dies

Stamps

Archival Ink pad

Brushes (flat & round tip)

1. Adhere the paper to the non stick mat using masking tape. 

2. Dab the distress ink colors of choice on the mat/block. 

3. Use the flat brush & wet the paper with clean water first. Be as random as you can. This will be the trail the colors follow.

4. Wet the round brush & pick up the first color, apply on one end.

5. Continue with all the colors one by one, allowing them to blend.

6. Let dry & then die cut directly in the water color burst. 

7.To add dimension, I die-cut "teacher" four times from white cardstock. Then I glued all pieces together with the colored one on top.  

8.To finish it off, I inlaid the stacked die cut to the card base.

 9. I stamped the sentiment "thank you" in black. 

 It is a simple water color technique & I think the inlaid die cut adds dimension to this otherwise simple card.

Would love what to hear your thoughts on this & inviting you all to participate this month too in our challenge. 

Hugs,

Tanvi.
