Water-Colored Flowers

I felt like doing some painting, so I pulled out this old set from Gina K. The flower and each leaf are separate, so I had to do some masking. I used black embossing powder for the images, and the sentiment, also. I used Zig Clean Color Real brush markers on this first one. Then I added some black sequins.

For this one, I used metallic water color paints. It's very shimmery in real life.

Metallic Painted Flowers

Finally - a blog post!! Life is just getting in the way of me spending time in my stamping room. Good things, though - nothing bad, fortunately. When my friend, Cheryl, came over a few weeks ago, she embossed one of these backgrounds and then painted with metallic paints. It was gorgeous! So, I finally got a chance to paint one of mine with metallic paints. It was easier than I thought it was going to be. So, that's it! I cut it down, matted it, and added a die-cut sentiment. (In linking to her blog just now, I see that her card is her most recent post. AND - I almost used the same "Best Wishes" die! Luckily, my scrap of rose colored cardstock was not quite big enough for me to cut that out of, so I went with something smaller.) The embossing folder is from Altenew.

More Stencils

Another Christmas card done with stencils. (I got a set of 16 of them for Christmas.) I used one stencil for the trees and another for the sentiment. I splattered some silver paint over the panel, then matted it and added some thin silver sticker strips near the edges. I also used some stars that I had in my parts that were die-cut from silver metallic cardstock.
