Watercolored Greetings...
Hello, hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Today's card features some goodies from SimonSaysStamp and watercoloring using Distress inks. To begin, I die cut trees (SSS) out of Tim Holtz distress watercolor paper. I then applied a light wash of water to panel and lightly added inks (Victorian Velvet, Evergreen Bough, Shaded Lilac, and Spun Sugar) using a round watercolor brush and set aside to dry. I next watercolored trees using same process (Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, and Pine Needles). Once trees were dry, I added a piece of double sided adhesive to back of panel, die cut several trees out of Neenah solar white, then inlaid trees into negative space, stacking die cuts. To finish, I stamped sentiment (SSS), heat embossed using Ranger gold embossing powder, die cut stars from gold foil paper and adhered to top of trees. Please note: this card was submitted to the current SSSMondayChallenge blog. Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!
