Watercolors Background with Lights and Wonder Dies

 Hello my craft friends.  Today I am sharing these cards inspired from the World Card Making Day examples.  These cards feature inky backgrounds, stencils mirror image using the die cut leftovers and die cut tress from the Light and Wonder dies. To create the inky backgrounds I simply stamped my 2 ink colors on to my glass board (or large stamp block) and spritzed with water. I then laid my Basic White paper into the wet ink and let dry.
