My projects today feature the Fresh Cut Roses Stamp Set. You may remember the card I made using this stamp when it was released.
Card #1 uses the bouquet image in the stamp set, twice on one card panel, stamped on the right and left edges. I used the Altenew watercolor paper pad and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I mixed paints from both the watercolor 24 pan set and the watercolor 36 pan set to achieve the colors of paint on these cards, painting wet-on-wet and taking advantage of the sections barriers created by the heat embossed outlines.
Next, I stamped the same image onto the same watercolor paper and used more of the same paint mixed to achieve the subtle shades of paint.
I’ll tell you a secret. This design was first a combination of the two floral images in the stamp set, stamped using a mask to create a larger bouquet. But when all was said and painted, I didn’t love the bottom portion of the whole design, so I used a square die to crop a smaller section of the part of the painted design I did like! Then I adhered it to a piece of complimentary-colored cardstock.
I die cut and stamped the greeting for this card with the Tall Alpha Lowercase stamps and dies.
The last card is created using the second image in the stamp set, a single cabbage rose style of flower. I stamped it off the edge of the cardstock for some extra interest.
I used a sentiment from the Fancy Greetings Stamp set for this card and heat embossing with Platinum embossing powder.
All of these paintings/cards were complete once they received a splatter treatment with the leftover paint puddles. Also, to coordinate with the Platinum embossing powder I made the silver flat sequins match better by coloring them with a tan colored alcohol marker, adding the merest hint of gold overtop – and giving them a platinum appearance!
Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
