Good morning! I'm sharing a couple cards today using a leftover item from some cards I shared a couple days ago HERE. For these cards today, I'm again using supplies from Simon Says Stamp! Isn't it funny sometimes when you like the card you create with leftovers almost more than the original?
For these cards, I had a panel of cardstock that I used to die cut Delicate Leafy Branch from twice. I could just barely fit it on an A2 panel twice. I was going to toss those, but they were so pretty, I started trying to think of a way to use them! I pulled out an item I don't think I've ever used - an Embossing ink dabber, and then used that negative piece as a stencil over some watercolor paper. I carefully dabbed over the entire thing, then sprinkled on clear embossing powder and heat set it. Then I grabbed some watercolors and did some soft watercoloring over the top, allowing the embossed area to resist the ink. The result is SOOO pretty - and I'm kind of obsessed with it! Once those panels dried, I die cut them with one of the Squovals dies, then added sentiments from Mandala Blossoms, heat embossed in white on coordinating cardstock from Gina K and Concord & 9th. I added some glittery butterflies using Bright Butterflies die and white glitter cardstock, then finished off with some glittery enamel dots! Here is a closer look at these finished projects:
