Hello
Happy Friday everyone.. Holly here today with a card using the Gorgeous Beautiful day set from Altenew and a new product to the store… Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors. These come in 4 different sets ranging from 12 to 36 color sets. For my card today I used the 36 color set.
I started by stamping the outline images from the Beautiful Day set onto a piece of Watercolor Paper using some VersaMark Ink and heat embossing it in White. I prepped my paper before I stamped each image with the Inkadinkdo Embossing Magic Bag to remove static. Once I had the images all set I trimmed the card stock to size.
I added some clear water with a small brush to each petal working one at a time and then I dropped in some of the watercolor and let the water move it around. I went back into the petal with a clear almost dry brush and started working towards the color to fade it out into white. I built the color up as each layer dried.
I used the colors 139 Purple for the Flower Petals, 42 Bright Yellow for the Flower center, 58 Ever Green for the leaves and 64 Blue for the outline around the flowers. These watercolors are very pigmented so you want to add a small amount and gradually build your color. They are perfect for coloring in images like these from Altenew.
I mounted the panel offset onto a piece of Bazzill Licorice Twist card stock with some foam adhesive. Then I added the panel to a top folding White card stock and I added a sentiment from the Altenew Label Love set. The sentiment is stamped in VersaFine Black ink and fussy cut it out. For a bit of Sparkle I added a few Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh with some liquid glue.
Be sure to stop by the store and check out all the new products that are arriving… Have a great weekend!
