Nice to be making cards other than Christmas, so I have a pretty Thanks card today. I stamped my image in Versamark and embossed with white EP. Next I loosely watercoloured the image by scribbling my markers on plastic sheet and diluting with water to get the right shade and depth of colour with a paint brush. Then I die cut my sentiment from scrap of smooched watercolour card, and die cut again using foam sheet to lift the Thanks up off the card. To finish I added a purple border and a tiny butterfly and pearl I am playing along with

Such a beautiful emboss resit effect, Robyn! Your marker watercolorig is so soft and delicate. The shades and depth of colors you created is meticulous. Love that you coordinated the color of the smooshed die-cut sentiment with the color of the matte! Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at CAS Mix Up!

Soft and delicate card using the white heat embossing with your watercolouring, Robyn. Really beautiful design and love the smooshed thanks die-cut sentiment and border with the same colour. xx
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely, Robyn! The mixture of embossed images is so eclectic yet they compliment each other beautifully. I love the soft watercolour wash you've given it to create the emboss resist. Love that raised "Thanks" and the tiny butterfly. Such a pretty card! Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
