Floral Water Colored Card for a Friend

Happy Monday Friends!

Welcome here again, with a water colored card made for a dear friend.

A simple card with lots of techniques. 

The lime & lemony background was made with gelatos & later embossed using the WRMK next level embossing folder.  I later sprayed the background with pearlized mist (kiwi).

The stamped (hero arts large blossom) card front is water colored with peerless water colors & the sentiment(Simon Says Stamp - Friendship messages) is heat embossed.

Can you see the effect of perfect pearls mist here?

Sending Hugggssss

Hello Friends! 

Welcome back!

I used the inspiration picture from Altenew challenge for my card today.

 I first created a heat embossed background on black CS using a stamp from the Beautiful day set & colored all the images using Creta color pencils. Next the focal image, a gorgeous bloom & leaves from the same set were heat embossed in blue (Wow EP) & colored with Peerless watercolors. Both the panels were die cut with SSS stitched rectangle dies & glued to a gold foil card base.

Bookmark

Good Morning!

A quick post from me to share a bookmark for which the background was made with peerless watercolors. The W&W blooms (the big, the bold & the extras) were heat embossed in gold to create a background. I loved the subtle water colors peeking through the embossed flowers & decided to color only the leaves.

The sentiment is a PTI stamp.

I have made several bookmarks in the past, you can check them here, here, here & here.

Water Colored Floral Background

Happy Monday Friends!

Its a card share today with a water colored floral background for the Winnie & Walter 2nd birthday bash.

 For the background I stamped the flowers & the leaves (Winnie & Walter - The big, the bold & the happy) using color box scarlet & lime inks & heat embossed them using Rangers Holographic embossing powder..........the result was divine! 

Used my current fav water coloring medium - Peerless Watercolors to color the stamped images.

The floral background was glued over black card stock, one edge of which was also heat embossed.

Here's a closer look at the coloring & the gorgeous holographic embossing. The sentiment is also a Winnie & Walter stamp (The big, the bold & the extras). I also stamped the images on vellum using color box ink & heat embossed these.

Coffee With Friends!

Hello & welcome back to my blog!

I am guest designing for The Crazy Challenge this month & here is the first inspiration post. 

The theme this fortnight is CARD FOR A FRIEND. 

The Stampendous background stamp was perfect for the card I wanted to make. I stamped this on a stitched rectangle die cut in archival ink & left the rest of the card rather simple. The latte cup (Tim Holtz - Stampers Anonymous) was colored with Peerless watercolors. The pattern paper is from the Prima - Coffee Break pack. Too much coffee, huh!!! A coffee lover that I am, friends & coffee go hand in hand, a good cup of coffee with friends is BLISS!

Just a Note.....with Peerless Watercolors

Hello all & a warm welcome again!

Recently I purchased a set of Peerless Watercolors & this is the first card made using these. Stamped the image from the 'Magnolias for her' set by Altenew on watercolor paper (Ranger). Cut a panel from one side & adhered a strip of coordinating foil sheet. Wanted to keep the sentiment simple to retain interest in the stamped image.
