Framed Florets Water-coloured for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects using water coloring techniques. I have used the pretty Framed Florets stamps set to make my card.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the framed florets water-coloured card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Sweet Sorbet card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Fluid 100 card – 5” by 3¼”
Fluid 100 card – 2½” by 2½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾”

 

I mounted the sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set onto the plate of the Stamparatus, inked it up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped down on the 2½” by 2½” piece of Fluid 100 card. I repeated this step to get a nice dark image. This was then die-cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The double flower image was the mounted onto the Stamparatus Plate, inked up with StaZon Jet Black ink and stamped onto the panel of Fluid 100 card. I repeated the step then moved the image and stamped again onto the same panel.

When the StaZon ink was dry I began to watercolour the images, beginning with the leaves. I used my Water Painters to add a little water to the leaves, this helps the ink to flow on the card. I added a drop of Granny Apple Green re-inker to the lid of the Granny Apple Green inkpad, loosen the ink with a little water and painted in the leaves.

The flowers were painted in the same way with Daffodil Delight ink and a little Sweet Sorbet ink in the centre, allowing it to bleed out a little. I left the piece to dry.

When the ink was dry I added Soft Sea Foam around the stamped and coloured images, using water to blur the ink giving a faded look. When the panel was completely dry I glued it to the Sweet Sorbet layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. A length of Sweet Sorbet and white Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and the whole piece then added to the Soft Sea Foam card front using the same liquid glue.

The Party Puffin stamp set by Stampin' Up! made to create a sweet puffin birthday card for a child

Puffin Birthday card

I have been making a pretty birthday card for a young girl using the Party Puffins stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the puffin birthday card, you will need:

Pale Papaya card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Polished Pink card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Polished Pink card – 3⅞” by 2⅜”
Basic White card – 3¾” by 2¼”

Using the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder, I embossed one of the larger Basic White panels. The panel was then glued to the larger Polished Pink panel.

I wrapped a length of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then adhered to the Pale Papaya card front.
