Color Bursts 3D Background

Hello, welcome to my blog!! ***If interested in the tin I use for my Color Burst Powders, please see the bottom of yesterday's blog post for info and the video showing how to create a palette. For today's card project, I will again be using Ken Oliver Color Burst Powders. I had so much interest in yesterday's card that I thought I would watercolor a flower from a different stamp set. I will also be using a 3D embossing folder to create a background. I love using embossing folders that are 3D for deeply etched designs and dimension. I will be using Distress Oxide Ink to create a colored background in my embossing folder giving it a two tone look. I love how this inked panel turned out, it reminds me of old fashioned Victorian wallpaper, LOL! I also cut some leaf branches out of vellum, which gives a great backdrop to images so they don't look like they are just floating on a background. Let's get started!! I will be doing all of today's work on my Ti

Majestic Peony With Color Bursts

Hello, welcome to my blog!! Today, I will be water coloring the beautiful Gina K. Designs Majestic Peony stamp. This is a fantastic image to color and has several beautiful sentiments with loose, flowing fonts. I just love peonies and other open petal flowers for coloring, and this one is one of my all time favorites! I will be using Ken Oliver Color Bursts and coloring on Tim Holtz Distress Water Color Paper. When painting with Color Bursts, I have a tin that holds 40 half pans that I have added the powders to then added a little water. I left them sit out and harden so that when I want to paint, I just have to touch my water brush to the color then add to my image. This is a great way to be able to take my Color Bursts with my on the go without having to mess with the powders. Let's get started on today's project!! ***Added... Please go to the end of this post if you would like to see a picture of how I store my Color Bursts. I will be doing all of my work tod
