Hey friends! It’s Amanda Fitterer here on the blog today sharing this fun watercolor card I created using the Beautiful Day Stamp Set!
I tried something new and used my watercolors that have been sitting around for a while! To make the watercoloring easier, I used gold embossing powder instead of ink! Because the powder melts with some height to it, it creates a barrier for the watercolor so it can’t escape!
I used WOW! Polished Gold Embossing Powder, along with the WOW! Glue Pad. The watercolors I used are called Artistro. To create this look, I applied some water with a paintbrush to small areas at a time. I dipped my wet brush into the color I wanted and then lightly dabbed the water. I would let that area dry and then add more paint to create some shading.
Because I want the background to match the watercolor paper I’m using for the flowers, I’m also using watercolor paper for my background. I splattered some metallic gold watercolor on this panel.
I die cut each floral border out using the coordinating dies. I also used Polished Gold embossing powder for my sentiment and die cut it out as well! I propped all the pieces up with foam tape.
I really enjoyed watercoloring these flowers and hope you enjoyed the card too! Have a really great rest of your day!
