I couldn't resist making more cards with the new Celebrate Rose Corner stamp set. I posted with that set earlier here if you missed it:
Black, Gold & White Cards | EASY to Mass Produce!
For these cards I pulled out a bunch of my Nuvo Shimmer Powders - I haven't used them in forever and they are SO fun to work with (I have a playlist here on YouTube with a bunch of videos I've done over the years using them):
These are 5x7" Cards.
I white heat embossed the big floral stamp from the Celebrate Rose Corner stamp set onto Canson XL watercolor paper. I was originally only going to make one card but I was having so much fun I ended up making 3 lol!
On my first card I used Falling Leaves, Maroon Spark and Sunray Crosette Shimmer Powders. I show in the video how I sprinkle the powders over the image and spray with water. That's it. NO coloring at all. And LOOK at the result!!! Big floral images like this are so perfect for this technique as it gives plenty of areas for the colors to well up with all the water and then they dry and look all amazing and shimmery.
For this card I used Jade Fountain, Lilac Waterfall and Cherry Bomb Shimmer Powders.
On this last card I used Jade Fountain, Green Parade, Sunray Crosette and Solar Flare Shimmer Powders.
On all 3 cards I white heat embossed a sentiment from the new XL Stacked Greetings stamp set on vellum and die cut with the coordinating wafer die before adhering to the floral panel with Craft Tacky Glue.
On the insides of the cards I stamped the floral from the Celebrate Rose Corner set with Simon's Fog ink, then stamped another sentiment from the XL Stacked Greetings set with Nocturne ink and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:
