First, before I get to my project for today, I need to announce the blog candy winner from last week’s blog hop. I totally forgot to do the drawing on Tuesday! Random.org picked comment number 14, so the lucky winner is Dana! Send me your mailing address, and I will get your Paper Pumpkin kit in the mail. Congratulations and sorry for the delay!
Now, onto today’s project… On Wednesday I shared a card featuring the Bloom with Hope stamp set from Stampin’ Up! that used the Floating Watercolor Technique. Today, I have another card that I created using the same technique.
I started by stamping the flowers and leaves with versamark ink on watercolor paper. Then I heat embossed them using white embossing powder.
Next, I “painted” the petals with water and then I used my re-inkers to add color to the wet surface. The water causes the color to spread and fade as it moves outward. The result can be unpredictable, but I think it is pretty.
After I painted the flowers and leaves, I dry embossed the card base using the Lovely Lace embossing folder. Then I added some pearls that I colored using my Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blendabilities.
I like the clean and simple design of this card. I hope that you like it to and will consider pinning this project to Pinterest. You will find a “pin it” button at the end of this post below the supply list.
I hope you will consider selecting me as your demonstrator for your stamping needs. If you need any supplies you can shop now in my online store! Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions or if you would like a catalog. I’m here to help!
Happy Stamping!
