Juliet’s Blooms on a Watercolour Background

 

Hello  there. 

My latest card that I am sharing with you today has a background 

That was made using watercolour pencils.

The card base is Ranger Distress watercolour card, I

 like this a lot when using watercolour

 pencils because It is really heavy duty and 

doesn’t flake or buckle when I add a lot of pigment with the pencils and the water

Needed to move the pigment around.

Once I scribbled my chosen colors out onto the card  I used a wet brush to blend out 

The pigment mixing the colors together.

Once dry I added some liquid sparkle in areas following the patterns created 

When blending out the pigment.

I stamped out the flowers and leaves in Memento Tuxedo black ink

 onto blending card and coloured them with Copic Markers, I then used my Scan N Cut

 to cut them out which saved having to fussy cut them out.

I cut out the words from The Tall Happy Birthday die set four times and 

Glued them all together stacking them to add some dimension, once this was done

 I used some antiquing wax on them to add a hombre effect

 making the words darker at the bottom. 

I then added a little liquid sparkle to add some glitz.

I also added a few clear gems to the centers of the flowers.

Mushroom House Card For Paper Rose Studio

Hello crafty friends

Today I am sharing my latest card  1 created

for Paper Rose Studio.

 

I have used Rangers Distress watercolour cardstock as my base for my stamped and watercolored 

 image as it is really resistant to "pilling" and breaking down when using brush tip 

watercolour markers.

I have coloured with Karin Watercilor Brush pens.

For the card base I have used the Slimline Card Creator Hexie die which I have matted on a slightly 

larger rectangle using the same card that the Hexi die is cut from.

For theses layers I used Neenah Solar White card.

I have stamped the mushroom houses in Versafine Clair Ink in Nocturn 

on the watercolour card and used my heat gun to dry it off before colouring with the Karin Markers.

When using watercolour pens I slowly build up the layers starting with a light colour wash and adding

 layers of colour to create light and dark tones.

                                                                    

 Once the mushroom houses have dried completely, I have used my scan and cut to 

cut out the image leaving a small border.

I have used foam tape to mount the image onto the card base

 adding some dimension to the card.

My Sentiment is stamped and die cut from the Hello stamp and matching die set.

Supplies used from Paper Rose:

24616 Mushroom House 1 Clear Stamp

21189 Slimline Card Creator 5 Hexie

Peonies for Mothers Day

Hi There

I hope you are all well and staying safe.

Today I would like to share with you  my first project for Paper Rose Studio for May, a card I made for my Mum on mothers day.

I have used the Paper Rose Peonies 4 x 6 stamp  set create this card. 

To stamp out the flowers I have used Versamark ink and white embossing powder. 

This gives me a nice raised and crisp white outline.

The paperI have  used is a heavy weight watercolour paper.

I have used  paint from the Prima vintage pastels watercolour set in soft pinks and greens to colour the embossed flowers. 

The embossing is great as it creates little wells where you can puddle the paint without fear of loosing your white line detail.

My wording has been cut out in Neenah Ivory card and layered onto a strip of vellum.

The shadow, or base layer, for the word Mother's has been cut out of a medium dusky pink colour and layered under the vellum to soften it.

Supplies Used:

17148 Peonies 4 x 6 Stamp Set

17982 Ella's Garden Mother's Word die

18442 Happy Birthday Stitched Metal dies 

Thanks for stopping by to have a look

Lovely Magnolias for Paper Rose Studio

Hi There

Today's card is my third project this month for Paper Rose studio.

My card today features the beautiful Magnolia Clear Stamp set.

To create this card I have stamped out on watercolour paper using Ink 3 fade out ink

this gives me a very faint outline for watercoloring that will fade away later.

I have used my Misti stamping tool to position the sections of the stamp set to create a sprig of flowers.

I have used Altenew watercolour brush pens to do all my watercoloring using a water brush to 

blend out the colours and working in layers.

supplies used:

18186 Lovely Florals Magnolia 4 x 6 Stamp set

18144 Sunshine 4 x 4 words stamp set

17463 Sunshine Layered Die

16576 Stitched Rectangles Stacking Die Set

lovely Magnolias in watercolour for Paper Rose

Hi I am back again for Paper Rose Studio.

Today I am sharing a set of cards using the Lovely Florals Magnolia stamp set.

I love so many of the beautiful floral stamps that Paper Rose have in the collection and I must say that the Magnolias in this set could possibly be my all time favourite. 

I really wanted soft tones for these cards so I stamped and heat embossed white embossing powder onto watercolour paper.

This gave me a raised image to watercolour onto leaving clean white lines instead of the traditional black outline.

I watercolored in the background first using the new Altenew watercolor brush markers from the Spring Garden set.

 For the background I used Evening Grey and Moss.

For the flowers I used Warm Sunshine,Autumn Blaze and Rubellite with a little bit of Moss for the stems.

Once I had a good background I started colouring the flowers in layers starting with my yellow, warm sunshine, and then adding layers of darker colours.

The flowers on this card are exactly the same as the one above. I used my MISTI stamp tool. This allowed me to stay a second card the same as the first, I have just turned it around and that gave the card a whole new look.

Once all the the cards had dried I added Black and white splatters using a fan brush, I did mask off the flowers to prevent them getting splattered.

Supplies used: 

18186 Lovely Florals Magnolias 4 x 6 stamp set

16576 Stitched Rectangles A6

17850 Nesting Rectangles 

18042 Love Large Layered

16951 Layered Hello Metal cutting Die 

Thank you for stopping in to have a look at my latest set of cards. 

Until next time.
