This or That Thursday Watercolor World

 To crinkle or not to crinkle that is the question 🤔 Are you a fan of all things vintage or distressed?  Or are you team clean and contemporary? What ever you are the Watercolour World stamp will work for you!

The first sample is a vintage/ distressed one. A top tip for creating the crinkled background is to lightly spritz the reverse of the stamped image mat with a fine mist of water.  Then scrunch the paper up. The mist of water helps to make the paper more pliable and lessens the risk of it ripping.

Once the paper is flatten to the desired flatness use a neautral ink and swipe it over to catch the ridges of the paper. You may find it useful to use a sponge to add ink gently.

I did use vanilla coloured cardstock to add to the vintage feel of the  vintage card as it lends itself to a softer feel.

 Whereas the white cardstock used for the clean and contemporary version gives a much crisper feel.

For the second version the use of the lilac ink certainly makes the card have a more contemporary feel.

Which do you prefer This ? With its vintage looks or That? With it's contemporary look?
