This is one of the cards we made at April's Card Clubs.
Isn't that black Doily die-cut gorgeous!? It totally makes this card!
Card Details:
- Watercoloring Technique: We inked the Bordering on Romance flower image in Black Staazon ink and stamped on our watercolor paper. Next we colored the outside of each flower petal with markers (Rose Red & Not Quite Navy). Then a blender pen was used to 'pull' color from the marker lines to the center of the petal. So very easy to get beautiful watercoloring with this method. But it only works on the watercolor paper!
- This colored image was punched out using the 2 1/2" circle punch and adhered to the Black large Doily die-cut.
- We added either black brads or pearls for the flower centers.
- The right side of the doily die-cut was folded to the back of the Confetti white card stock. The black card stock strip hides any imperfections here.
- The Black scalloped border layer is from the Tasteful Trim die-cut.
- Rose Red and Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon was used as a strip across and for the bow.
- The Confetti White card stock background layer is stamped first and then textured above with the Finial Press embossing folder leaving the greeting flat.
