Twofer Card Challenge - Hearts Challenge 2


For this challenge I used a die set from Recollections and it included the heart die and some stamps. I used two pieces of leftover background paper to die cut the hearts. The card on the left was paper that was smooched with distress inks, sprayed with water and then sprinkled with coarse salt. I  inked the detailed stamp with VersaMark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  For the base card I dabbed distress ink on the inside of a small heart embossing folder spritzed with water and then laid the base card on top, dabbed with my finger and then wiped with a paper towel. When dry I attached two of the hearts and the third I attached to craft foam and then attached. Last I added the sentiment from Paper Smooches.

The second card is a piece of  watercolor paper with ink, and water on an embossing folder. You just tap the paper onto the ef you don't run it through the machine. This is one of my favorite techniques. I chose to use the heart dies to make a 3 leaf clover, and used a sentiment die for the stem. The sentiment is from Hampton Art.This piece was attached to the green cs and then the base card.

CAS Watercolour Card Challenge - February 2018 - HEART

 

Another flower card for CAS for the Watercolour challenge. I love painting flowers, and birds, and particularly with watercolours. The flower was stamped and heat embossed on watercolor paper. I painted with distress inks and an aqua brush. The image was die cut with a heart die from the company Wish. Many of the ladies in my card making group use this company and the prices are very inexpensive and they come from China. You may order ten things and they all arrive separately on different dates. No one has complained so far and the quality is good. I used a second die (10 in the set) and cut it from craft foam. Before attaching the image I stamped the sentiment.



Supplies:
Stamp - Stamplorations "French Marigold"
Ink - Distress inks, VersaFine
Sentiment stamp - SU!
Die - Wish
Paper - 90# watercolor, craft foam
