So,
this month we are taking a look
back at a previously released product, dusting it off and giving it some
love! Here is an image of the whole stamp set, Pure Florals: Cosmos.
I used the single flower stamp and did LOTS of masking! This was actually quite a long process since each one is heat embossed with gold embossing powder (on watercolor paper). I think it was worth it though! I'm really happy with how this one turned out!
After embossing, I used 5 different Distress Ink colors and watercolored each flower with the inks and some water. This is one of my favorite coloring techniques lately...I just LOVE the watercolor look! The sentiment is also gold embossed. The panel was cut slightly smaller than the base.
Hope I've inspired you with this today!
Supplies:
Specialty Paper: Strathmore Watercolor
Other: Ranger - Princess Gold Embossing Powder; Tim Holtz Distress Markers
