Hello and happy Monday!!
Kids are still home from school due to a teacher's strike (which I fully support), and so we are enjoying a few more days of summer, before it's back to daily homework and earlier bedtimes.
Kids had friends over this weekend, so I found some time to create a card for our midmonth reminder at Penny Black and More.
I love playing with my husband's watercolor paints, so happy he is sharing :-)
The floral stamp was heat embossed using versamark ink and white embossing powder onto mixed media card stock. Before I stamped the flowers I masked the edges using painter's tape. After watercoloring I removed the masking tape and stamped the sentiment. I added some turquoise butterflies to bring some more color into the design and "blinged" it up with some rhinestones.
Product list:
Delicate Florals, Hello Friend stamp sets - both by Penny Black
Grumbacher watercolor paints
Canson Mixed Media card stock, SU card stock
MS butterfly punch, rhinestones
versamark ink, black archival ink
white embossing powder, painter's tape

As I mentioned this is also my Design Team card Penny Black and More midway reminder.
I do hope you'll join us. Our theme is simply ANYTHING GOES. All stamp manufacturers are welcome. We just ask that you use actually rubber or clear stamps and stamp as the focal point. Although we do also welcome creations made with Penny Black stickeroos.
We have lots of fabulous prizes to give away :-)
Hope you have a great day!!
Just love your colour palette Ellie and the resist stamping as well, so pleased hubby shared his paints as the background is lovely.
