Hello again! Stopping in with another card for the Unity Itty Bitty a Day Challenge going on the Unity Facebook page - and playing with more watercolors:
I was inspired by this beautiful image I found on Pinterest:
I also used (with a bit of liberty taken!) the Unity {be inspired} sketch, so I'm linking it up there as well:
I used some Unity feather stamps, from the itty bitty set called "Feather Flight" - I own them from one of the Kits of the Month, but they have since been made into an itty bitty stamp. I simply painted watercolors directly onto my stamp, then pressed them onto my watercolor paper. Once they dried, I added a bit of Glossy Accents, smeared it around with my finger to flatten it a little, then sprinkled on some gold glitter.
My sentiment is from the January 2014 Kit of the Month, embossed on vellum that I wrapped around the back and secured behind. Finished off with a wood veneer feather that I tied some gold thread onto, then mounted it onto a PTI cardstock card base.
I'm pretty sure this is one of my new favorite cards!!!
And - linking up with the Simon Says Monday Challenge - Anything Goes:
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
WOW-- in capital letters! This card is so incredibly clever! I would've never thought to put watercolors directly onto my stamps, but I adore the effect you achieved. Beautiful color blending, too. The glossy accents and glitter give the feathers just the right amount of bling. I love how the sentiment pops because of the heat embossing you did and the wooden feather is a great tie-in to your overall theme. Thank you-- most sincerely-- for such a fantastic tip and for inspiring me with this card. You are truly talented and have a great eye for design. I'm so glad that you shared this creation with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog!
