Places You'll Go

I've been diving head first into all the supplies I just got from the NEW catalog and loving every minute!  I have a simple watercolor card to share today with a fun little set called PLACES YOU'LL GO.



I used watercolor color paper and heat embossed the globe stand in black.  I added a wash of Island Indigo to the paper before adding in the globe itself.



The globe is heat embossed in white so both it and the colors would stand out against the black stand. Island Indigo and Emerald Envy made the globe come to life. These two colors work well together for a realistic look.



Keeping with a simple layout, the sentiment was added neatly to the bottom of the card.  I really love all the sentiments in the set, there are lots of other stamp sets that these will go with!

I hope you enjoyed seeing a sample with NEW PRODUCTS, I have more in store for you tomorrow.  Be sure to come back for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop, we have fabulous new ideas to share!!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop: Watercolor Wash!

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!!  This month is all about techniques and today we are featuring WATERCOLOR WASH.

 

You should be arriving here from Mary Brown at Stampercamper's Corner, her cards are always so gorgeous!

Ombre has been all the rage, I love the gorgeous look it gives to card backgrounds.  In Bermuda Bay, this effect with watercolor wash is TO DIE FOR!

Add in the ever so beautiful Perfect Peacock, and you have a seriously amazing card!

To create this gorgeous effect, I used watercolor paper.  It allowed me to move the color around nicely then layer more colors on.  The Aqua Painter is the PERFECT tool for this technique.  I spritzed the paper with a little water then started adding color. 

Once you have the look you want, LET. IT. DRY. WELL. SERIOUSLY!   I was a bit impatient, so I used my heat gun to speed up the process.  Before that happened, I put blips on the paper by touching it with my fingers, don't make the same mistake!

Once the paper was dry, I heat embossed the peacock in white.  This is a pretty intricate stamp, so a little of the detail was faded in the center of the tail.  But you have to remember that watercolor paper has a texture, it's not like stamping on smooth Whisper White.  Next, I added more color to the peacock with the Aqua Painter.  There are deeper shades made by laying on more ink and lighter shades by putting less.  I added in Wild Wasabi and Coastal Cabana to give more dimension and depth.

If you haven't tried this technique, I hope today's blog hop inspires you to give it a shot!  Now it's time to visit Debbie Henderson's fabulous blog Debbie's Designs.  She has such amazing ideas!

Thanks so much for hopping with us, see you next time!! 

Happy stamping!
