I love multi-coloured papers, and especially those with a washed watercolour look. And nothing is as easy as creating your very own custom paper and creating embellishments with it. Here’s how I make mine in a few easy steps.

• Step 1

  Select the colours of All Purpose Ink you want to work with – I pick at least 3 colours to give me a nice colour range.



• Step 2

  Tape a piece of technique cardstock to a sturdy surface using washi tape. Add a few drops of blue All Purpose Ink and mist with water.



• Step 3

  While the blue All Purpose Ink is still wet add a second (green) and third colour (gold) in the same way and mist with water. Leave the paper to dry naturally.

TIP: taping the paper to a surface like a white board or A4 cutting matt helps keep the paper flat and allows the fibres to stretch back into their natural state and corrects the paper to a flat sheet once dry.

Once the paper is dry carefully remove the washi tape from the paper and then use a die-cut to cut flowers using your Go Cut and Emboss machine.

Keep some flowers single and layer others for added dimension. Add a sewn button or brad to the centre as a finishing touch.

And there you have a range of beautiful multi-coloured layered flower to use on your next project.
