Happy Monday, crafty friends! On today’s blog I’d like to share with you a no-line water-colored “Season’s Greetings” card made with Winterberry Background Cling Stamp and Phrase Builder Happy Holidays Die Set by Pinkfresh Studio. So, without further ado let’s jump right into the step by step on how I’ve made it ↓
To begin with, I started by placing inside my MISTI Stamping Tool a large piece of Strathmore Watercolor Paper. Next, I placed over the watercolor paper the Winterberry Background Cling Stamp. Therefore, after I’ve them lined up, I’ve gone ahead to stamp the background image twice using Misty Coast Ink.
Therefore, after I’ve had finish the stamping, I’ve moved on to temporarily tape down the watercolor panel to my Make Art Mini Stay-Tion All-in-One Magnetic Surface, and once I had it in place, I went ahead to watercolor the whole background using a mix of Pink, Burgundy, Brown and Green hues which I’ve had previously mixed in my mixing palette using a combination of Pinkfresh Watercolor Collection, W&N Neutral Tint and my White Nights Watercolor palette.
Thus, after I’ve finished the water-coloring, I’ve set it aside to let it dry. Meanwhile, I’ve gone ahead to line up over a large piece of white cardstock the Season’s Greetings inner die words from the Phrase Builder Happy Holidays Die Set, and once I’ve had them lined up, I’ve went ahead to run them through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine 3X and 1X out of Metallic Rose Gold cardstock. Then, I’ve lined up the shadow layer die from both words over Translucent Vellum and I also ran them through the die-cut machine. Lastly, after I’ve finish die-cutting the pieces, I’ve gone ahead to stack them, and I set them aside. Moving along, I lined up the largest and second-to-last dies from the Essentials: Stitched Rectangles Die Set over a large piece of white cardstock and soon after that, I’ve gone ahead to run them through the die-cut machine creating that way a detailed stitched frame.
Thus, after I had finished die-cutting the frame, I’ve set it aside and I started the assembling for the card so therefore, I’ve started by trimming the edges down from the water-colored card panel, then I’ve gone ahead to mount it with craft foam tape to an A2 top folding white card base. Right after that, I carefully added white highlights to the berries and white splatters to the background using a brush a white paint. Then, I’ve glued down with liquid glue the stitched frame and last but not least, I’ve glued down the dimensional die-cutting words (as shown in the image above) Finally, to finish the card off, I’ve gone ahead to glue down with liquid glue pink jewels from Essentials: Jewel Mix, and as a finishing touch, I’ve added Glossy Accent to the berries for an extra dimensional and shiny look. With that being said, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the step by step on how I’ve created this “Season’s Greetings” card. As always, I appreciate the time that takes you to read my blog posts.
