GDP #141 - Color Challenge: Watercolor Card

     Hello again! I'm back after a couple days break. I saw my new pain management doctor and it's not good... but I can't talk about it because I will burst into tears and that aggravates my pain beyond belief. On to better things...for you today I have a card I did for the Global Design Project using this weeks challenge which was a color one.


   These 3 colors can now be found in the Regals Collection and look absolutely great together. I decided to do a watercolor wash using all 3 colors from lightest to darkest. I also decided to do some embossing on a piece of vellum. When I stamped the colors I first stamped off once then stamped on the back side of the vellum. This gives it a great transparent look.


     I then cut a piece of the Delightfully Detailed DSP (Designer Series Paper) to use as a layer. I also layered some of the Copper Thread and the Rich Razzleberry twine. And then as a little embellishment I spread some copper sequins around the card.


     Finally I stamped the inside of my card to carry the 3 colors inside. I didn't put a sentiment on the outside because I thought it would clutter it up too much. I simply stamped one on the inside.


Here are all the items used to make this card. Click on the item to go to my store.
Hugs,

Colorful Seasons Winter Card - Kylie's Demo Training Blog Hop

Image
     Hello everyone! I'm Julie Kight and welcome to my blog. How is your week so far? Today for you I have a special treat...a blog hop! I am part of a special training group for Stampin' Up! demonstrators run by Kylie and Bruno Bertucci from Australia. They are such an amazing husband and wife team! For this blog hop I wanted something for the season and I had just seen this cool technique done by another demonstrator and wanted to try it myself.      The Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Thinlits are so versatile as they can be used for any season as there are stamps and dies for each one. To do the inking technique I used the Coastal Cabana reinker and the new Shimmer Paint from the Holiday Catalog. I dropped four drops of the paint on a piece of Watercolor Paper down one side and then I dropped one drop of the reinker on two of those paint drops. Then I took an old credit card and swiped across dragging the drops.      I u...

These hops are so fun because you can find inspiration and creativity from so many different people all over the globe. Lost your creative mojo or just don't where to get started then you need to check out each person on this hop to get those crafty ideas flowing. Here is my card.....      I was inspired to make this card from another card marker. I have always loved the Little Twinkle stamp set and knew that this was more then just for babies. By combining it with the Well Said Bundle I'm telling my loved one that our love was written in the stars.      I heat embossed the background first then watercolored it. This way I didn't have the watercoloring showing through the embossing from underneath. You could do this technique with any of the different e...
