Hello, welcome to my blog!!
For today's card, I will be using Ken Oliver's Color Bursts to watercolor my image. To showcase this image, I will be using a wood grain texture die with a scalloped frame to complete the card. I have a few other posts where I paint with Color Bursts. *If you are interested in how I store my Color Bursts and the palette I made, type "Majestic Peony With Color Bursts" into the search bar, there you can scroll to the bottom of the post for details. There is even a video linked, this is how I learned to set my palette up.
Let's get started!!
I will be doing all of my work today on my Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat.
To start, I take a piece of Canson Watercolor Paper and place it into my MISTI Stamp Positioner. I prep the panel with my Anti Static Powder Bag before stamping my image from the Hero Florals - Magnolia Stamp Set using Versamark Embossing Ink. I add Detail Gold Embossing Powder and heat set with my Heat Tool.
Taking my Water Brush, I wet my first petal. I then take my other water brush and add a little Merlot Color Burst to the base of the petal. I pull the color out and fade out toward the end of the petal, keeping the color dark at the base and around where petals overlap. I repeat this process with all of the petals until the flower is complete. There is a very small area of the stamen that I add Gamboge Color Burst to, this finishes the flower.
Next, I color my leaves. I wet the leaf and add Olive Green Color Burst at the base then pull the color out toward the tip of the leaf. I repeat this process for all leaves. To add a little more color and contrast, I add Burnt Umber Color Burst to each leaf and blend in.
Next, I cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel out of Kraft Cardstock using my Tim Holtz Guillotine Paper Trimmer. I take the Wood Grain Texture Die and run it with the kraft cardstock through my Big Shot Die Cut Machine. Using Double Sided Tape, I center and adhere the wood grain background onto a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" white card base and trim off the overhang.
To create a shadow area on my panel, I blend Walnut Stain Distress Ink using my Blender Brush. I then take the biggest die from my Reverse Stitched Scalloped Square Window Die Set and tape down to a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" piece of Fresh Asparagus Cardstock using Purple Tape and run them through my Big Shot. I then use Liquid Glue to adhere the frame onto the card front.
I now take and fussy cut my floral image using my Razor Edge Sheers. I then use my Leafy Branch Die and cut out of Vellum and Dark Sage Cardstock two times each running them through my Big Shot. I then cut the die cuts in half, this helps to arrange them easier. Using Liquid Glue, I attach the leaves to the back of my floral image.
Using Foam Tape, I adhere my floral image over the inked area on the card front. For my sentiment, I place a strip of kraft cardstock into my MISTI and stamp a sentiment from the Hero Florals - Magnolia Stamp Set using Versafine Clair Nocturn Ink. I cut the end of the strip at an angle then glue down at the top right corner sliding the other end under the scalloped edge. With my Jewel Picker, I add a few Water Droplets using Liquid Glue and this finishes my card.
This image was fun to color and I really like how the wood grain backdrop turned out. Sometimes the idea I have in my head doesn't always look the same on cardstock! I was pleased with the final results.
