Delightful Days

 

 

Here is a fun simple technique that is clean, crisp and crafty!  The trick to doing this card is by placing the piece of water color paper in the center of the coloured background cardstock.  Stamp the image, we used the Delightful stamp by Penny Black 395403 using Coffee Archival Ink 120640.  You will find using the Fiskar Stamp Press 342535 very helpful to do any stamping especially larger stamps like this one.  The Stamp should cover the watercolour paper and the coloured cardstock background.  Colour the stamped image that is on the water colour paper using prismacolor premiere pencils Prisma . Try using pencils and odorless solvent 384798 to nicely blend colours, blend the colours with a Tortillion 456016.  Mount the coloured piece on to white cardstock cut a 1/4" larger and match and mount on top of the partially stamp background.  We used vellum on the bottom edge and stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment on it using Coffee Archival ink and Justrite Sentiment stamp set 251517.  We embellished flowers and top right corner with adhesive gems.  Make sure prior to adhering the pieces to ink the edges with a finger dauber 459434 and the Coffee Archival ink it softens the look and adds dimension.
