Peerless Watercolor & Gold Brush Lettering
Hi all! Kristina here. :)
Today I have a video for you of a card I made using the Sketch Ranunculus stamp set, Peerless Watercolors, and a bit of brush lettering with FineTec gold watercolors.
I stamped the flowers and leaves in VersaMark ink and embossed them using Rich Pale Gold embossing powder from Wow. The melted embossing powder has a slick surface and resists the watercolors on top. This makes it super fast and easy to watercolor over the top!
I used four Peerless Watercolor colors for the painting: Gamboge Yellow, Peacock Blue, Tea Rose Pink, and Olive Green. All four colors are from the Bonus Pack of Peerless Watercolors. I like to use a water brush when painting with Peerless Watercolors because it’s so simple and easy.
To finish off the card, I used FineTec gold watercolor to hand letter the greeting. For a few tips on brush lettering, be sure to watch the video below. :)
I hope you enjoy the card and video! :)
