Let’s Celebrate!

Hi Friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! I have been enjoying using some stamps more recently from my stash! Today I am using the beautiful Unusual Day Poppy – by artist Graciellie Design/Unity Stamp Company! I was excited to work with this image in red rubber, the floral is HUGE!!! So let’s get started!

I started by prepping my A2 watercolor panel/Canson XL water color card stock with my powder tool and heat embossed it using a gold embossing powder. I used my peerless water colors on this card. I truly love these colors, as they are super pigmented so they are fun to use. I used a wet on wet technique to color this beautiful bloom. On the flower I used a combination of yellow, orange, red, and pinks. On the leaves I used greens, blues, and yellows.

Once my watercoloring was complete I added the color around the large bloom, using 2 shades of purple. I did a similar color combination the other day and I loved it! It was fun to try it again. I trimmed my panel to an A2 card size and adhered this to my card base. I chose the Let’s Celebrate sentiment from the May 2020 Kit of the Month. I heat embossed this in white on black card stock and then foam mounted this to my card panel. I find watercoloring so relaxing and an area I want to learn more in.

I also wanted to let you know Unity Stamp Company has a Mystery Discount Summer SALE happening right now. The SALE will go until Thursday evening at midnight. You can add items to your cart and the SALE/discount will appear. Have fun checking it out!
