Watercoloring Over Gold Embossing

Hello crafty friends and welcome to my blog.

Today I have a beautiful card to share with you using two beautiful 

 Pretty Pink Posh stamps sets!

I absolutely love making floral cards and one of my favorite techniques

is watercoloring over gold embossing. I think it is such an elegant look!

Today I used the Pretty Petunias florals and the Everyday Greetings stamp sets

to make this beautiful garden inspired card.

Lately I've been crushing on this pink and orange combination.

I used 4 different color Distress Inks on this card:

Picked Raspberry

Spiced Marmalade

Cracked Pistachio

Peacock Feathers

I started off by stamping my flowers in Versamark Ink on to watercolor paper

using my MISTI stamp positioning tool.

It's hard to get a good impression on watercolor paper and the

MISTI helps with stamping over and over in the same spot!

I sprinkled WOW gold embossing powder over the Versamark and 

melted it with my heat gun.  The gold embossing makes it so easy to watercolor

and stay in the lines. After I watercolored the flowers and leaves I did a light wash

of Peacock Feathers all over the card around the flowers.

I took the Thank You sentiment from Everyday Greetings and stamped it in the

center of the floral panel in Versafine Black Onyx Ink.

I used the scalloped frame die from the My Favorite Things Blueprints 20

die set to cut out my floral panel and layered it on a gold foil background.

To finish off my card with some sparkle and shine I used some

Clear Sparkling Jewels from Pretty Pink Posh.

Here is a closeup of the card so you can see all the gold shimmer from

the embossing and the foil card stock.

I just love that gold shine!

I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday 

challenge this week.  The theme is No Designer Paper.

Instead of designer paper, I made my own background with pretty flowers.

Thanks for joining me today, I hope you enjoyed

my card and will come back soon for more crafty card
