Hello.. Dear Friend
Hi everyone… It’s Holly here today and I have a watercolored card using the gorgeous new set from Wplus9 called Beautiful Bouquets: Dahlias. I used the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor set and some 140lb Canson Watercolor paper.
I stamped the image onto a piece of watercolor paper and heat embossed it in White. Then I colored it in using the following colors from the Watercolor set. For the Flower I used No. 34 Dark Pink, Leaves No.53 Mid Green and a little No.52 Ocean Green. The Background wash is No.64 Blue. I added clean water to parts of the image and then I added the color using the wet on wet technique.
After the image panel was dry I die cut the panel using the Blueprints #15 from MFT. Then I die cut the Hello using the WPlus9 Hand Lettered Hello die, from the center of the image. I carefully removed all the pieces from the die and set them aside. Then I die cut four more Hello’s from some Black Licorice card stock from Lawn Fawn. I inlaid one of the Black Hello’s into the center of the image and then I stacked it with three more. I added the original Hello that I die cut from the image over the top of the stacked Hello’s. I added in all the tiny center pieces and then I stamped Dear Friend onto a piece of white card stock using some Lawn Fawn Black Licorice ink and added it with Foam adhesive. I adhered the image panel to a Black top folding card base with my ATG gun.
Thanks for stopping in today!!! I’ll see ya next week with a new Video!
