I created a super sweet card using the Way Too Sweet stamp set along with brand new coordinating dies. Did you notice that I used watercolors to color my focal images? I went out of my comfort zone to try watercoloring and I’m so proud of how my card turned out. 🙂

Actually I’ve made a few watercolor cards for the last few months, but I never shared them here until now as I wasn’t satisfied with the results. Then I realized that my watercoloring skills won’t be improved if I kept my watercolor projects secret, so I decided to share my latest watercolor card today.

Here is a video showing you how I created my card. You can watch the video tutorial here or in HD on YouTube. If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up. I really appreciate your support and love.

 

How To Make a Handmade Card using Watercoloring 

  1. Stamp the images from Way Too Sweet with black ink on some watercolor paper. (Make sure to use waterproof ink for watercolors. Or you can heat emboss the images with white/clear embossing powder.)
  2. Color the images using Peerless Watercolor Sheets. (I tried to color loosely and not to overcolor the images.)
  3. Die cut the colored images using the Way Too Sweet die set. (If you don’t have dies, fussy cut the images using scissors.)
  4. Heat emboss the sentiment from Way Too Sweet with white embossing powder on Dark Chocolate cardstock. (If you are new to this technique, check out the Heat Embossing Technique Tips and Tricks HERE.)
  5. Die cut the frame out of white cardstock using Scallop Frame Die and adhere it on the sentiment panel using foam tape.
  6. Mount the die cut images using foam tape. Then add some sparkles with Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents.

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog. An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.|

    I do not know whether it’s just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your blog. It appears as though some of the text in your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen before. Thanks|
