Hi
Friends!
I
had a chance to create a card this evening and decided to try a Clean and
Simple (CAS) One Layer Card. I paired the
retired Stampin’ Up! Choose Happiness stamp set along with Hero Arts Stamp and
Cuts Prayers using masking and watercolor.
I
incorporated the CAS(E) This Sketch #238 Sketch Challenge, the Sunday Stamps SSC161 "Autumn Rainbow" Color Challenge, the Less is More #345 One Layer with Coloring Challenge
and the Flower Challenge #12 Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge (Embossing, Distress Inks,
Sentiment).
If
you have not had a chance to check out the above challenge sites yet, I hope
you will find the time to do so- as always, gorgeous inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Score and fold a piece of 4 ¼” x 11” Naturals White cardstock in half.
2).
Ink the floral image from Choose Happiness with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink,
apply clear embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool. Create a mask, mask the flower and repeat the
steps for additional flowers and leaves.
3).
Watercolor the flowers, leaves and background area using Distress Inks- Wild
Honey, Broken China, Salted Ocean, Seedless Preserves and Blueprint Sketch.
4).
Once the watercolor has dried, de-static the lower part of the card front with
an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Hero Arts Prayers Stamp and
Cuts using Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set
with the heat tool.
5).
Spritz a bit of diluted Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink over the front and add
highlights using an extra fine white paint pen to the flower centers. Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the
flower petals and background to finish off the card.
