Hey everyone!! I've had SO many tech issues lately, which ended with me needing to order a new SD card reader and wait for it to arrive. I can't upload video/edit/post without it so everything has been frustrating. So that explains why I haven't had any new posts or videos to share with y'all!
Anywho - I'm hoping I'm back on track and can post a bunch of videos back to back again!
I was the host for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
You can check out what the rest of the team made using these colors HERE <--------click! and you can play along yourself if you'd like!
Here's what I came up with:
I pulled out Simon Says Stamp's Sketch Tulip Bouquet set and white heat embossed the tulips onto Ranger watercolor card stock. I then pulled out my Karin Brushmarker Pros and a water brush to color them in.
The die cut sentiment is from Simon's Painted Friend wafer die, and I complemented it with a sentiment from the Message for Everyday stamp set.
While watercoloring the tulips I added some Inkon3 Liquid Pixie Dust - you can see better in the video how insanely sparkly the tulips are. Speaking of sparkle: I made a mess of the background so to fix it I covered it by spraying the background with Tonic's Morning Fog Nuvo Sparkle Spray. It is SPARKLY in real life - I bought all the colors of the Tonic Sparkle Sprays a few months ago and they sat in a basket for way too long. I should have pulled them out WAAAAAYYYY before this b/c wow - so pretty in real life!
I finished off the inside of the card by inking up the tulips stamp with the same Brushmarker Pro colors I used to watercolor the front ones and stamping it. I then stamped a sentiment from the same Sketch Tulip Bouquet stamp set using Hickory Smoke Distress Archival ink and that was it!
