More Metallic Watercolor on Black

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

I have two more cards from my Metallic Watercolor on Black play.

Both stamps are from an old Hero Arts set.

On my first try, I over splattered and it looked like garbage on both designs.

So I tried again.

This time I didn't add the third color of splatter and I liked it better.

I cut out the sprigs from the offending pieces and added on top of the second

pieces for dimension.

I added both designs to a piece of gold foil and heat embossed a little sentiment for each.

Two more for the Christmas stash.

It's almost time to get those Christmas cards ready to mail.

I'm so thankful for these Christmas challenges that keep my stash growing 

throughout the year!

Peace on Earth Christmas - ATG/Option Mood Board (Holly)

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!
