For today’s project, I used our new Daisy Duet set. This 4×6 set features two daisies for a large stamped impression making it a really great image to practice coloring on.
Be sure to follow us on YouTube for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!
I started off by heat embossing the large image onto watercolor paper (Canson XL 140lb) using our Rose Gold Embossing Powder. Then I watercolored the image using Color Burst powders. For the petals, I used a combination of Fuchsia and Merlot. I also added a darker red to add shading to my daisy petals. I combined several hues to obtain the dark red shade but I cannot recall what I mixed… Sorry!!
Here is a WIP photo of daisies. I had worked on a similar piece a few days ago with a different background color.
For the leaves, I use a mixture of Lime Green and Terre Vert Color Bursts. I also added a bit of Gamboge to add a bit of warmth to my background. Once I finished painting my image and background, I cut out a mask on printer paper for my daisies using the coordinating die. I temporarily adhered it to my painted image and splattered on some Fuchsia watercolor to the area surrounding my daisies.
Next, I stamped the sentiment in our Noir Dye Ink and trimmed my panel to 5.5 x 4 inches. I took a top folding horizontal A2 cardbase and adhered Rose Gold Burnished Foil Tape to the top and bottom edges for a gilded look. Then I adhered my painted panel onto the base and lastly adhered our Clear Rhinestones as embellishments.
I hope you all liked my card! Be sure to join us back here tomorrow (and everyday until January 26) to continue celebrating our Third Anniversary!
