To begin with, I started by stamping with Skeleton Leaves Amalgam Ink over a Strathmore Watercolor Panel one of the floral clusters from the Look for the Rainbow Stamp.
Soon after the stamping, I water-colored the floral cluster in with a mixing of Pink, Green, Brown and Purple hues that I created using my Prima Classic Watercolor Pan Set.
Therefore, after I had the floral cluster water-colored in, I set it aside to dry. Meanwhile, I added lots Embossing Tool Powder to a white cardstock panel and I moved on to the stamping For the stamping, I’ve got stamped with WOW! Embossing Ink the sprig images from the Bold Flowers Stamp Set so, once the stamping was done, I added WOW! Metallic Gold Rich embossing powder to the stamped images and I heat set them using my WOW! Heat Embossing Gun Tool.
Once, I had the heat embossing done, I lined up over every single heat embossed image the coordinated dies from the Bold Flowers Die Set and I ran them though my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. Soon after I had the sprig die-cutting pieces done, I also ran through the die-cutting machine the water-colored floral cluster along with its coordinated die to die-cut it out from the card panel. Lastly, I hand drawn with WOW! Embossing Pen 2 wonky lines around the perimeter of an A2 white card panel which soon after I’ve gotten them hand drawn, I also got them gold heat embossed. Then, to finish the heat embossing process, I also got stamp and heat emboss one of the sentiments from the stamp set on the right bottom corner of the card panel.
Finally, to finish the card off, I trimmed the edges down from the heat embossed card panel and I adhered it down with double-sided tape to an A2 Kraft side folding card base then, I glued down with liquid glue a cluster that I created with the sprig die-cutting pieces and last but certainly not least, I mounted the floral cluster with foam square adhesives to the card to add lots of dimension. And as, finishing touches I covered the flowers with Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen and I added Glossy Accent to the center of the flowers for a shiny dimensional look. And to add even more sparkle, I glued down with liquid glue here and there sequins from my favorite Heaven Sent Sequin Mix.
