   Hello Friends and welcome!  Today’s card features this super fun summer/beach themed set from SimonSaysStamp (Be a Mermaid) and watercoloring using Distress Oxide Inks (twisted citron, peacock feathers, and blueprint sketch).  To start, I hot foiled a piece of SimonSaysStamp Audrey cardstock using a simple stripe hot foil plate and moondust foil sheets from Spellbinders using the Spellbinders Glimmer machine.  Next, I stamped, die cut, then gold embossed images using SimonSaysStamp Antique Gold embossing powder.  I then began watercoloring images using above mentioned Distress Oxide Inks.  To finish, I stamped sentiment and white heat embossed, assembled elements and adhered to card base, and added a few white enamel drops using Tonic White Gloss enamel drops.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!  Please note: this card has been submitted to the current SimonSaysStamp Flickr Challenge #182

 

Good Vibes Flower

Good Vibes Flower...

   Hello Friends and welcome!  Today’s card features this lovely floral set/BG stamp from SimonSaysStamp (Center Cut Flowers) and watercoloring using Altenew Artists watercolors set.  To start, I stamped floral image onto a piece of Strathmore hot press watercolor paper and heat embossed using SimonSaysStamp Antique Gold embossing powder.  I then began watercoloring this image using a wet-on-wet technique hoping for a loose style of watercolor.  By using this style of watercoloring, I was able to drop the color into the area and the embossed lines helped keep the color from mixing to much into one another.  Next, I stamped sentiment from SimonSaysStamp Tiny Words sentiment set and again heat embossed using above mentioned embossing powder.  To finish, I die cut watercolored panel using the stitched rectangle from the SimonSaysStamp stitched bundled set, assembled elements and adhered to card base.  Thanks so much for stopping by... take care!  Please note: this card has been submitted to the current SimonSaysStamp Flickr Challenge #181
