Hey everyone! I've been feeling pretty run down this past weekend, and got a cold to top it off, hence me not posting videos the last few days. I wasn't feeling overly creative (or overly anything - just taking care of the kids was enough lol) but I wanted to get back into it so yesterday I pulled out my Mission Gold watercolours and the Concord & 9th Hello Lovely set.
My original intention was just to play around with watercolour and make a fun card and quick video and that would get me back to creating and posting regularly again. LOL - 2 cards and what is now a 20 minute video and a full day of editing and uploading here we are!
While I was stamping and embossing this large floral image (one of my favourites) from the Hello Lovely set I wondered what it would look like to do one with white embossing powder and one with black embossing powder. So that's what I did.
I really like how the watercolour pops with the white heat embossed image.
But then I really like how the detail of the stamp pops with the black heat embossed image LOL!
I paired the images with a die cut You and sentiments from the Simon Says Stamp You Matter stamp set and You wafer die, and die cut the watercolour panels with MFT's Wonky Stitched Rectangles Die-namics - LOVE.
I stamped the floral image onto the insides of the cards with yellow ink, then heat embossed the large You from the You Matter set using white embossing powder and stamping the rest of the sentiments with black ink and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:
