today I have this card duo up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
I used the suuuuuuper pretty Paradise Palms stamp set!
I inspired by *this* card I found on Pinterst! SOOOOO PRETTY!
first I started each card by layering the images to create a large island scene with black Versafine ink and then heat embossing in clear on top.
then I used Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks to add the water color! on the first card I did *not* use gesso, and on the second card, I did! it really affected the way the watercolor reacted on the papers!
you can kind of see the way the watercolor leaked through the embossed images here. I still like the look, but it was something I noticed!
I also the Tag Times Two die to add the sentiment on my second card! I heat embossed in yellows, which looks really lovely in person...but I just could NOT capture it well in photos.
also, see? no leaking of color, and the paper didn't warp at all! gesso for the win! ha!
a few sequins finished off both cards! love the beachy feel!! takes me back to the Caribbean, I'm ready to go back!! :)
enjoy!
This is just SOOOOO gorgeous! I want to be on that beach right now! Thanks for the inspiration!
