Red Delight Guest Designing for Penny Black & More

Hello.  I am so pleased to be Guest Designing at Penny Black and More today.

Their challenge is to use 'Traditional Christmas Colors" greens, red, golds.

I have really enjoyed this Penny Black Red Delight stamp.

I've stamped it using my MISTI and Distress inks.

This is my second try on this design.  The first time my wash looked like

I'd spilled Pepto Bismol on it!

This time I stamped the finished flower with Versamark

and clear embossed it.  It kept the red from bleeding so much.

I smooshed some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink on my palette and

used the wet on wet technique, picked up the ink on my brush for the wash.

I mounted the watercolor piece on foam to minimize the warping and

put it on a larger piece of gold foil.

The sentiment is heat embossed with gold too.

I know it's a really busy month, but I hope you'll find time to join the

Penny Black & More Challenge.

Enjoy!
