Happy Sunday! I have a card to share for this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop Challenge.
For my card, I wanted to do a watercolor design. I literally just got the Arteza Real Brush pens in the mail on Saturday. I never got the Zig ones. Now that I have tried these real brush pens I totally see what all the fuss is about. I love these markers! The colors are so vibrant.
I started with some Strathmore watercolor paper. I started with the outline flower image from Papertrey Inks 2018 Anniversary set Mixed Bouquet. I stamped the image using versamark ink and heat set using white detail embossing powder all over the top of my card recreating the huge floral arrangement, but from a different point of view.
Next, I colored all of the flowers and even the background with my Arteza Real Brush pens. I added some white and black spatters to the card. I added foam tape to the back of this panel and popped it up onto a stampers select white card stock base.
I die cut the large sentiment strip from Wine Bottle Tag 2 die and heat embossed the sentiment from Butterfly Blooms stamp set using versamark ink and heat set using white detail embossing powder. I added it to my card with some foam tape. I trimmed off of the edge. I finished my card with a few clear sequins.
As always thanks so much for hopping by!
super card I love the bright colors.
