First off the cards. I made these cards just the other day using some new-to-me Opal watercolors (and my favorite stamp set) and wanted to try them out again and this time use ALL the colors in the palette:
These are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.
I white heat embossed the new Party Balloons background stamp onto black card stock and then painted in the balloons and confetti with the Opal watercolors.
It's hard to show how shimmery and reflective these look in photos. I added a bunch of splatter of course, and used an older CZ Design Let's Party wafer die that I topped with some of Simon's Holographic card stock so it's SUPER reflective in real life!
On the insides of the cards I used the new Confetti stencil with several Distress Oxide inks and got all the different colors using the new stack of rainbow blending brushes that Simon got in (that are SO cute and I am in love with lol). I stamped sentiments from the CZ Design Stop Drop Party stamp set with Nocturne ink and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:
