Hi Everyone!
Don’t forget that there is still time to play along with our Time Out Challenge until next Wednesday! Our theme is Bright, and I thought it was a perfect time to break out the Concord & 9th Rainbow Wishes set to create a clean and simple card, using watercolor stamping.
To create my card, I trimmed down an A2 panel of Canson XL cold press watercolor paper. I put it in my MISTI and overlaid the largest rainbow arch from the stamp set and picked it up with the MISTI. I inked it up with Catherine Pooler Designs ink in Rockin’ Red and then before stamping, spritzed it with some water. I then stamped it, holding it down for a few seconds to let the water blend the ink slightly. I continued to stamp each of the rainbow arches in this way, using Catherine Pooler inks in Tutti Fruitti, Limoncello, Lime Rickey, Fiesta Blue, and Flirty Fuchsia. I then left it to dry.
When the panel was dry, I overlaid the three etched arches over three of the colored arches, again using my MISTI. I used a powder tool, then stamped the pieces in Versamark and heat embossed in gold embossing powder. The sentiment was bent slightly and stamped in Versafine Onyx black ink. As a finishing touch, I added some sparkling clear confetti sequins by Pretty Pink Posh. I popped the entire panel onto a Neenah Solar White 110lb card base and called it done!
