To do either of these watercolor techniques, you will need:
- Shimmery White Paper
- Card base: 5-1/2"x 8-1/2" cardstock, folded at 4-1/4"(your choice of color)
- Layer: 5-1/4" x 4" cardstock (your choice of color)
- Basic Embossing Powders
- Heat Tool
- Adhesives
Emboss Resist
This technique is one of my favorites. Using the Versa Mark ink, you stamp your image. Then after you have stamped your image, you emboss it with white embossing powder. After melting the powder with your heat gun, you can color the image. It makes a beautiful card!
My original card shows inks: Petal Pink, Fresh Fresia, Soft Seafoam and Early Espresso to color myimage. I used the Cottage Rose stamp set and dies to create the image I wanted to use. I chose my sentiment from the Hues of Happiness Stamp Set. I embossed that with the Black Embossing Powder. The ribbon was adhered with Stampin' Seal and the image and sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals. I chose the 5/8" Rose Gold and White Striped ribbon and the Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots for my embellishments. I added a bit more sparkle with our Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
The example that I showed on the
video are inks: Rich Razzleberry, and Old Olive. Using my VersaMark stamp pad I stamped an image from the Hues of Happiness Stamp Set. I then took my White Embossing Powder and poured some over the stamped image. Next, I melted that powder with my heat tool. From there I squeezed the top and bottom of each ink pad to create a "pool" of ink on the inside lid. Using my aqua painter, I dipped into that ink and began to color my image. While painting over the image, the embossed areas resisted the ink to show the details of the stamped image.
Block Water Spritzing
Another way of doing a fun water technique is with the use of our stamping blocks. This is really easy to do and makes a fun creative card! Choosing a group of two or more colors, you stamp the ink on your stamping block. Using a stamping spritzer, you spray some water on the stamping block and then stamp the block on your watercolor paper. I used our Shimmery White Paper. Depending upon how much water you spray on your block determines how much the colors blend together.
For my original card, I used the inks Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party for my block stamp and Early Espresso to stamp my images. Using the Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set I created a simple, yet fun
card with this technique.
In the
video I used the Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Early Espresso Inks, and again the Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set.
