Paper Rose Studio | Watercolour Bouquet Card

Hi all, welcome to today’s blog post for Paper Rose Studio. For today’s card, I have heat embossed the Hayley’s bouquet stamp set with WOW! Embossing Powder Opaque Bright White embossing powder on watercolour cardstock. I used my Karin brush markers and Altenew Brush markers to watercolour these in. I mounted the watercolour cardstock panel on black cardstock which I also mounted on a white side folding cardstock base. To make for a quick and simple finish I have used the Big Sentiement 1.0 pre-printed pack. To finish the card I added a sprinkle of Clear Crystal mix pack as embellishments.

Catherine Pooler dry embossed card

Hi all, today’s card is using the newish Quilter Cover die for the dry embossed technique. If you are new to the dry embossed technique, let me give you the down low on the how to. First of all you need a die cutting machine and of course a cover die (background die). The whole idea of the this technique is to achieve an “impression” type of look rather than using the die in a traditional sense for cutting. I have an electronic cutting machine and the biggest tip I can offer when it comes to the impression part of running the “sandwhich” through the machine is a ‘rubber mat’. Most cutting machines you can purchase a rubber mat that pairs well with your machine.

Sandwhich Key –
1. Cutting platform
2. Rubber Mat
3. Cardstock
4. Cover Die
5. Cardstock Shim
6. 1 x Cutting Plate

Depending on your machine you may need to add a couple of shims. Shims can vary in thickness and I highly recommend using cardstock as shims depending on the depth of impression you would like to achieve. Try and not add too many cardstock shims as to not make it too thick so you don’t cut through the actual cardstock itself.

For my card, I have mounted the dry embossed panel on a white top folding card base. As an added element to my card I have die cut a heart panel with the layered stitched dies with kraft cardstock. I love the kraft cardstock can bring a natural looking element to add to the floral stamp design. The floral stamp design has been heat embossed with WOW! Embossing Powder in Ebony and water coloured in with Catherine Pooler Inks and water colour pencils.

To finish the card off I added some crater lake clear sequins to embellish the card.

Altenew Educator program | Creative Watercolour media card

Hello and welcome to my blogpost. As part of my Altenew Certification Program I have enrolled, I took the Creative Watercolour Media class by Jennifer Rzasa & Co. I played with the Watercolour 36 pan set which I have had in my stash and had a great excuse to play with it again. To ease into the class I started off with florals that I could colour in one petal at a time. As I am not particularly good at keeping my colouring in the lines I chose to heat emboss the image.

I first heat embossed both floral images with Ebony embossing powder and watercoloured in using the pan set. My biggest tip that I have learnt is have clean water and a clean brush handy. I love having two brushes to work with, 1 brush to pick up the pigment paint up and 1 to help distribute the paint throughout each petal. I have created a tutorial up on my youtube channel of my creative process.

There is a lot to learn when it comes to watercolouring and bot oh boy I am loving this class. I am yet to complete it but I just could help but pick up a brush and start colouring. I have to say the watercolour bug has bit me hard 😃

The colour inspiration was from the January monthly card challange.

A Touch of Winter for January’s 2021 Inspiration Challenge

In my card I also showcase a cool pearl embossing powder that changes colour when it is heat set.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog. Have a lovely day!
