Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing my last project for the month
Guest Designing for
Whew! February went by in a flash! So, I'm bringing you some spring
cheer with my card today! I chose everything ahead of time with this
card project. I made an A2 size top folding white card base, adhered a
piece of double sided patterned paper to the front 1/8" smaller than the
base. I embossed an olive color panel for the front that measures
3 1/2" x 4 3/4" and from the patterned paper I cut 2 strips - one is about
an inch or more and the other about 3/4" wide. I tore the ends of these
2 strips diagonally. I heat embossed my image and my
sentiment with gold embossing powder onto watercolor paper.
My plan was to watercolor my floral image to match the colors in
the patterned paper.
I put a wash of color on my elements of the image. I used a watercolor
set that contained a nice rainbow of colors.
My set did not contain orange or purple so I mixed colors where I was
lacking. I bumped up the color with some shading using a darker, more
concentrated version of the colors. After everything was painted and
dried, I fussy cut both the image and the sentiment.
I foam taped my mason jar image and then put the sentiment half over the jar
and one half hanging off. On the part that hangs off I added the same
same foam tape so it would be level with my jar. I added some glittery
enamel dots that really looked nice against the colors and that
finished my card!
I hope I've given you a month of inspiration as we head into
spring! You can find this stamp set and many more as well
as digital stamps at
Til next time...
