Water Color Painted Sunflower Card

Hello and welcome to my Blog.

I have been having technical issues and I am trying hard to resolve them. My apologizes to everyone, bare with me.

I designed todays card using the new Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.

SUNFLOWER 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER

$16.50 #166145

Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder

It is so popular it keeps selling out!! It will be available again September 29th.

For todays card I decided to water color the sunflower.

I started by cutting a piece of water color paper to 5" x 5" and running it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine using the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.

I used my Water Painters, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Old Olive, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Daffodil Delight and Pecan Pie Inks.

*Tip: If you push down on the stamp pad lid when it's closed, it will transfer some of the ink to the lid and you can use that as your paint palette. Using these colors, I made sure my brush was wet and I started adding color to the image. I start off lightly then I can build up more color as I go along. After I finished coloring the flowers and the leaves, I splattered some Pecan Pie Ink very lightly over the image. I love this look! Once you are happy with the results, set it aside to dry.

After it dried completely, I attached it to a 5 1/8" x 5 1/8" piece of Basic Black Card Stock using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Then I wrapped some Black Bakers Twine around this layer a few times and tied a bow on the right hand side.

Then I attached this layer to my card base, Timid Tiger Card Stock cut to 5 1/4" x 10 1/2" and scored in half.

I stamped my sentiment onto Basic White Card Stock using Memento Black Ink and the Light & Wonder Stamp Set. After stamping the black ink image, I stamped the word "Love" over top of it using Timid Tiger Ink. Flag cut one end and attach using Dimensionals to the card front.

LIGHT & WONDER PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET

$26.00 #165756

Light & Wonder Stamp Set (This is also available as a Bundle Set.)

I added a Bumblebee Trinket to the tag to finish the card off.

I hope you have enjoyed todays card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Simply Succulents Water Colouring

Today I was playing around with the Water Painters, Water Color Paper and some Classic Ink Pads. I love the cute little pot that comes with the Simply Succulents Stamp Set. I went with the Terracotta Tile Card Stock. I thought that was quite fitting. I stamped the large succulent image onto the card front using the Terracotta Tile Ink. I'm really happy with the look, it makes for a great background.

All the supplies I used are listed below. Click on any image to go to my Stampin' Up! store.
