Metallic Watercolor on Black

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I had a zoom session with some friends a couple of weeks ago and we did a technique

from this video Metallic Watercolor on Black.

I ended up doing the technique more than once and I'll share two of the cards today.

First up using this NBUS poinsettia stamp.  I've heat embossed it with gold

embossing powder and colored it in with my Altenew metallic watercolors.

I love the shimmer and shine!

I did learn that it would be easier to stamp the center sentiment when I stamp

the surrounding design.

Then I did something a little simpler....

I still need some work on splattering.

The larger dots are actually pieces of chunky glitter.  I wasn't able to capture the

shine in the photo.

This is a perfect technique for Christmas cards!

Christmas Tree for CAS Christmas

Hi there.  I'm glad you stopped by!

How's your Christmas stash coming?

It seems like the calendar pages are turning faster and faster.

I'm hoping I won't have a big rush when it's time to send out those Christmas cards.

My sweet friend Colleen is hosting this month's CAS Christmas Challenge and

she's chosen Christmas Tree.

It was a perfect opportunity to ink up a NBUS stamp that Sue B. enabled me to buy when 

she posted this card.  I was also the happy recipient of that card!  Thanks Sue!

I've chosen to use gold embossing powder on Back Mixed Media Paper and

colored with Pearl Paints.  Thank you my dear friend.  I'm sorry it's taken me

so long to use these awesome gifts!

I painted with the Pearl White Gold first.  When dry, I added some Pearl Green and Pearl Blue.

Challenges:

CAS Christmas - Christmas Tree

NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff

 

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
