I'm madly making Easter cards to both sell at my church as well as send out to relatives and friends. Today I have a floral card (rather than eggs or bunnies) with an Easter sentiment, since in my part of the world, Easter comes at springtime!
I used a watercolor technique to stamp my Dancing Daisies onto vellum. I placed the stamp in my Stamp Platform, colored over the stamp areas with 4 colors of Ranger Distress Markers (Victorian Velvet, Aged Mahogany, Shabby Shutters and Forest Moss), spritzed with water lightly (as I was stamping on vellum that obviously won't absorb the water!) and pressed it onto the vellum.
I let the vellum panel dry, then I die cut the vellum panel as well as a white panel using Scallop Stackers: Small from PTI. I adhered the two die cuts together using 1/8" Scortape just around the outside edge and adhered that panel to a white card base. I stamped the sentiment from Easter Alleluias from PTI onto a punched oval and adhered that directly onto the panel.
I'm linking my card to several challenges:
my sketch fits accept for the one daisy that goes off to the right!
Paper: vellum, white, Lavender Moon - PTI
Ink: Autumn rose - PTI
Accessories: Ranger Distress Markers Victorian Velvet, Aged Mahogany, Shabby Shutters, Forest Moss, Stamp Platform - Tonic/Tim Holtz, water mister, 1/8" ScorTape, oval punch - SU.

Well, I learned something new today, I had no idea you could stamp Distress Inks on Vellum and it would turn out as gorgeous as this??!! Just beautiful and love the pink colour you chose, so very soft. Thank you so much for sharing this technique and also joining us at The Flower Challenge!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic and beautiful results of stamping with added water on vellum, Julia! I know it's difficult to get it right (at least for me..), but you made a great impression with an artsy watercolor-look without vellum warping.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of the daisies! They're so lovely.
