Hello and Happy Easter! What a beautiful day it has been, here in the West Midlands UK. I have spent the day in the garden, having a little tidy round. I love a warm, sunny Sunday in the garden, just pottering about and sitting enjoying the atmosphere.
For todays blog, I would like to share a project that I created for a recent challenge. The theme was a colour combo – Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy and Balmy Blue. Once I pulled the colours out, blue and white pottery came to mind and monochrome watercolour.
Monochrome Watercolour Card
Create an A6 card base, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm, from ‘Misty Moonlight’ cardstock. Using the largest ‘Stitched Rectangles’ die, cut a layer from ‘Night of Navy’ cardstock and adhere to your card front. Die cut the second largest ‘Stitched Rectangle’ die from ‘Shimmery White’ cardstock and adhere to your card front.
Stamp your flower image, from ‘Jar of Flowers’ stamp set, using ‘Versamark’ ink onto ‘Fluid 100’ watercolour card. Cover with ‘White Stampin Emboss’ powder, shake off excess and heat with ‘Heat Tool’, until all powder is melted. Repeat with your jar image.
Colour your flowers using ‘Misty Moonlight’ and ‘Night of Navy’ ink and an ‘Aqua Painter’. Use various strengths of ink and water, to give multiple tones to your flowers. Fussy cut around your coloured image. Add a wash of ‘Balmy Blue’ ink to your jar, to imitate water and punch out, using the coordinating punch.
Finishing Touches
Wrap ‘Misty Moonlight and White Twine’, from ‘Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack’, twice around the top of your jar and tie with a bow. Adhere your jar and flowers onto your card front, using ‘Stampin Dimensionals’. Finish your card by adding ‘Rhinestone Basic Jewels’.
I hope your have found some inspiration from card. All products used are listed below and available to purchase from my online shop.
