Hi Everyone!
I hope you’ve all had a relaxing weekend (despite the cold if you’re in the US – brrrrr!!! I do not love a Polar Vortex!
Today I’m over on the Topflight Stamps blog with this card which I created using a beautiful mandala stamp from Australian company Paper Rose Studio. They also make the dies I used, and they had a booth at Creativation with lots of sneaky peaks of new stuff – I’m excited for their 2019 releases!
I created a video of the cardmaking process which you can check out here or over on my Youtube channel.
To create my card, I first heat embossed the Paper Rose Large Mandala in WOW! Metallic Platinum (Regular) embossing powder on 6″x 6″ dark grey cardstock (I used the darkest from Catherine Pooler’s Smoke & Mirrors cardstock collection).
I then painted the image using Finetec watercolors. All of the colors I used are listed here (they can be purchased separately or as a set). If you are sparing with water, you can use them on thick non-watercolor cardstock with no warping! They show up beautifully. When dry, I diecut the image with a square stitched rectangle die.
I used the Paper Rose Studio Layered Hello to diecut the hello from the watercolored piece (save the pieces!). I die cut it 4 more times from the dark grey cardstock, which Iayered together with the watercolored piece. I adhered the watercolored panel to a grey cardbase (8.5″ x 4.25″ scored at 4.25″) and then popped the saved pieces and the stacked hello into the spaces. Super effective and so pretty in real life!
