Technique Tuesday Thank you Greeting Card
Happy Sunday, Friends! On today’s blog, I’d like to share with you this quick and easy water coloring floral card that, I’ve made featuring the Cosmo Stamp Set from the Thank you Stamps collection by Technique Tuesday. So, without further ado, keep on reading below ↓
To begin with, I started by treating a Canson Watercolor Paper piece with Embossing Powder Tool. Then, I stamped the floral image from the Cosmo Stamp Set with Embossing Ink and, I white heat embossed the image with Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder. Once, the heat embossing was done, I water colored the flowers with a combination of orange and yellow tones. For this card coloring, I used my Arteza Real Brush Pen as color media.
Right after the water coloring, I waited a few minutes to let the flowers dry not, completely because, I wanted to add a second layer of color. So, after the second layer of colors, I added a touch of blue in the outer part of the image because… I wanted to add a bit of contrast between the orange-yellow tones and the card panel. It’s so hard to show in picture but, I promise you that, that tiny touch of blue really makes the flowers pop.
Lastly, after the water coloring, I set the card panel aside to dry. Once, the card panel was dry, I gold heat embossed a sentiment which, is also included in the stamp set with Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder and, right after the heat embossing, I trimmed the edges of the card panel slightly smaller than an A2 size card base and I adhered the backing of the card panel to a top folding Kraft base with foam mounting tape. To finish the card off, I adhered some Lemon Mix Jewels here and there for a sparkly/shimmery look. As, well as shimmer, for the shimmering part, I used Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen and Glossy Accent for an extra dimensional shiny look. So, that’s all for today friends! I hope this card inspire you to give this design a try! As always, I appreciate the time you take to read my blog posts below you’ll find the supply list for the products used on today’s blog post.
