Die Cut Bows of Beauty

July 1 top

Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by today! The fabulous Laura Bassen is a back for another feature this week! 2 Laura posts in one week?! How lucky are we!! Doesn’t this card just SCREAM Laura? (in the most polite way :)) Blended RAINBOWS! Yes, as Laura states herself in the video below, (be sure to watch it by the way). Rainbows + Laura = Peanut Butter + Jelly :) Laura is showcasing our brand new sentiment set, Uplifting Thoughts and wafer thin die, Build a Rainbow! Both can be found in our Among the Stars collection!

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.

070116-SSSJuly1

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!

070116-SSSJuly2

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! :)
