A lovely water-coloured card made for the Technique Tuesday blog Hop using the Framed Florets stamp set by Stampin' Up!

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.

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 whole image was the coloured as above with the addition of Mint Macaron Blends for the remaining succulents. The fussy cut piece was then added on Dimensionals.

Using a larger Deckled Rectangle, I die cut the Soft Succulent panel. A length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon was the wrapped around the panel and the stamped panel added over top with liquid glue. The whole piece was glued to the card front.
