Today I'm sharing a card I made using one of my favourite PinkFresh Stamps and die, Amazing Things. I just love the beautiful image that has so much movement to it.
I'm sending this card to the folowing challenges:
Ink: Distress Inks: Brushed Corduroy, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness, Spiced Marmalade, Candied Apple) Tim Holtz
Accessories: Amazing Things matching die (for embossing image), w/c paint brushes,
I stamped in Brushed Corduroy distress ink (a few times), and heat embossed in clear before watercolouring with more Distress Inks (mowed lawn, rustic wilderness, spiced marmalate, candied apple).
I added a bit of grounding for the flower with more brushed corduroy ink and also one of the sentiments from the same stamp set, popped up for dimension. Before assembling, I used the matching die to emboss an outline around the flower. I love this technique, which just adds a bit more emphasis on the image. :)

ReplyDeleteThis is sooo pretty, Loll, and I really need to make a note of your embossing with the die for emphasis. I love that! It's good to see you today. I hope you're feeling better.

Hello Loll. Your flowers are simply luminous. I love the ombre colors in your watercolor. The perfect color intensity makes them look as if illuminated by sunlight. I agree that embossing the outlines with a die cut creates a wonderful effect. A wonderful, wonderful card.
ReplyDeleteI hug you very tightly, my dear Loll.
hugs,

Love this pretty flower, Lolly! The embossing does add extra texture and interest! Happy Valentine's Day, my sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Loll. Love the colors you used and how you embossed around the image. Great technique.
ReplyDeleteI never think to emboss with a die around an image and I love the way it looks around your beautifully watercolored flowers, Loll. So glad to see you back.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you embossed with the die to get that extra interest to the flower. Beautiful watercolouring on the flower!
