Summer is coming and with it there will be BBQs and picnics and lots of red, white, and blue! One of my favorite treats for holiday cook outs are the cupcakes! My local grocery store always has cupcakes with white frosting with hints of red along the edges. They are topped off of with sparkly blue stars on picks.

Today I am sharing a quick and easy card that borrows inspiration from those cupcakes. You could use this for cards, invitations, or even party decor!

Textured Freedom Card by Tammy Tutterow | www.rangerink.comStep 1: Scribble Blue Yonder paint onto a 4” x 6” piece of watercolor cardstock.

The paint should be on the side of the tool that is facing the direction you are dragging. The paint will transfer onto the edges of the Texture Paste design. Set the cardstock aside to dry.

Place a clean foam on an ink blending tool. Pick up the paint with the foam. Skim the paint onto the raised areas of Texture Paste. Use a light hand and don’t push down on the foam to keep the paint on the raised areas only.
