Color Washed Trees
I don’t have anything new to show you, but I can share a card I made for one of the tutorials I wrote during my blog break. I made this card for the Color Wash tutorial to show color wash Resist.
I started by stamping the trees from Lovely as a Tree in Black Craft ink on Watercolor Paper and embossed it with black embossing powder.
Next I stamped a small circle from Sweet Shapes in VersaMark over the trees and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I used a white crayon and scribbled a few lines (clouds) in front of it.
The color was was done on top with Elegant Envy, on the bottom with Always Artichoke. I added Handsome Hunter as grass and tree shade.
The watercolor paper was layered first on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Basic Black, then on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Elegant Eggplant cardstock. The card base is a 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half, topped with a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of now retired Always Artichoke Prints Designer Paper. Paper piercing was added to the top left and bottom right corner.
Three 1/4″ black circles were placed on the top right and a small rhinestone brad was added in the center of circle. The sentiment is from Many Happy Returns. It is stamped in black on Shimmery White cardstock, punched out with the small oval punch and framed with Hardware from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware collection.
