I’ll have more to share this week but first up is this watercolored floral card!
I just love these big gorgeous flowers…they’re perfect for coloring! I started by stamping them onto arches watercolor paper with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I used Altenew watercolor markers in Desert Night, Persian Blue, Emerald, Jet Black, Warm Sunshine, and Crimson to paint the flowers. Varying the amount of the two blues gave really pretty purple shades! Once I was done I used my ScanNCut to cut out the flowers and foliage.
Next I arranged the flowers over a panel of patterned paper included in the kit. I adhered them with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape. Then I stamped a sentiment from the kit on white cardstock with versafine, heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder, and trimmed it down to an angled flag. I also cut a second angled flag using one of the metallic papers included in the kit and adhered it like a drop shadow behind the sentiment. I adhered that over the flowers with foam mounting tape and finished the card with a few jewels from the kit. I love how they’re clear but they really pick up the dark blue and black tones of the card!
I hope this gives you some ideas for the new September kit! Remember, you can also subscribe to their no-obligation kits and receive them monthly for $29.99, or purchase them each month for $34.99 (while supplies last). I have a feeling this pretty kit is going to be quite popular so if you’re interested I’d recommend heading over and picking up the Look for the Rainbows kit as soon as possible! 😉
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic day!
