It is an exciting month over at Unity stamp Company – I wanted to share a card using the new release Simply Blessed. I love this set by artist Graciellie Design.
I started by stamping the image onto Fabriano Hot Pressed watercolor paper. I love this paper for watercoloring – it is smooth and does well holding water! For today’s card I used my Zig Clean Color brush markers. I love the arrangement on this stamp. I just enjoyed the watercolor process for both the Eucalyptus and the Cotton Stems. I added several layers of color on these images and once it was complete I set is aside to dry.
I wanted to create a soft watercolor look for the my card, so I did the same for my background. I used a piece of Canson XL Watercolor card. I chose a few colors of Gansai Tambi watercolor to create the background. I used one of my favorite techniques to create the background – ink smooshing. I added the color to my glass mat with water and “smooshed” the paper on top of the ink. I completed this several times and then set it aside to dry. I love the natural look this gives!
To complete my card I trimmed down the panel to fit an A2 sized card and adhered this to my card base. I then die cut the floral jar using a Tim Holtz die. I chose a sentiment from the Aging Gorgeously sentiment kit. I heat embossed this on black card stock using white embossing powder. I love the sentiments in this kit – truly perfect for a birthday celebration! I used foam tape to adhere both the sentiment and the center die cut panel as well. I hope this card will bring cheer and happiness!
I am so excited to share 2 cards using two new SLIMLINE stamps at Unity Stamp Company! I just adore both of these new sets by artist Ann Corbiere-Scott. I am in love with these slimline stamps! They are perfect for a slimline card, as well as for creating an A2 card!
Here is an example using the new Funky Flowers. I used Peerless watercolors to complete the coloring on this card. Isn’t this stamp so much fun!
I am also loving the gorgeous new Let’s Get Merry slimline stamp! I love this large Poinsettia image – inside each section are tiny words – isn’t it just AMAZING!
