Watercolored Dalhias…
Hi everyone it’s Holly here today with a set of Watercolored cards. I’m using the Gorgeous Beautiful Bouquets: Dahlias set from WPlus9.
I started with some Tim Holtz Watercolor card stock and I Heat embossed the images in White. Then I die cut each panel using the Sew Fancy Creative Cuts from Mama Elephant. Once the Panels were all cut out I watercolored each image using Distress Inks. I smooshed each ink pad onto my Craft Mat creating a Palette.
I added clean water directly to the image first and then dropped in the ink using a slightly damp paint brush. After the first layer was dry I went over the images again adding in some more color to create some depth. Once the images were dry I added the panels to a top folding A2 size card bases. For the sentiments I used a few from the Altenew Label Love set and the Mama Elephant Organic Blooms Set.
After I created three cards I couldn’t stop…lol These came together so fast and would make a great gift set. I used several Distress Inks in… Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Mowed Lawn, Spiced Marmalade, Victoria Velvet, Seedless Preserves & Salty Ocean.
Thanks for stopping by today!!
