Playing with Zigs and watercolor stamps!

Good morning!  Today I’m playing with several stamp sets from Altenew including the brand new Watercolor Wonders!  I decided to try using them with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and this was the result:

There’s definitely a bit of a learning curve with this stamp set but I’m looking forward to trying it again soon!  To stamp the flowers I scribbled the Zig markers directly onto the stamp, spritzed it with water, and then stamped it onto watercolor paper.  For the flowers that had centers I stamped them in versamark and heat-embossed them with gold embossing powder.  I stamped the butterfly’s first layer in versamark and heat-embossed it with gold pearl embossing powder.  The second layer was stamped in versamark and heat-embossed with ranger gold embossing powder.  The final outline was stamped in versafine onyx black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  After I embossed the outline I realized I wasn’t a fan of the black dots on the wings so I went over it with a versamark pen and then added gold embossing powder over it to cover it.

I added splatters of dark pink and gold, stamped the sentiment in versamark before heat-embossing it with clear powder, and then adhered some Glass Slippers sequins!  Finally I matted the watercolor panel on dark pink cardstock and mounted it to a black cardstock base!  I love the loose watercolor look of the stamp set and when the card catches the light, it REALLY sparkles!  I’ll definitely be revisiting this set soon to experiment a little more!

Thanks so much for visiting and be sure to check back tomorrow for an extra special post!! 😉
