Happy Friday!
It's my turn to post on Creation Scrapbook Centrale FB page today. Our March challenge theme: The Arts. For the first week of March, we concentrate on using Embossing Powder and Watercolors in our art projects.
I first created the 'watercolor look' background by 'ink-smooshing' with distress inks. Next I stamped the floral image with Soft Granite Shadow ink. Then I used Tim Holtz's Distress Watercolor Pencil to color the stamp, spritz with water and stamp. I did it in several passes once with each of the different colors. After the stamped images is dried, I stamped with watermark ink and clear embossed it.
The clear embossing intensified the watercolored image.
Next came the rest of the stamping, the large butterfly, and the post marks. I distressed the edges and added sentiment banners. Lastly I adhereed to a warm grey card base.
Main supplies in the photos below.
Thanks for coming over, have an crafty day!!
