You know the feeling when you see a product and you immediately know you just have to have it? That's what I felt when I saw Scrapbook.com's Fresh Florals and Berries stamp set. I was so excited to create a project with this gorgeous set. I think the berries are what set it apart for me... I LOVE the pairing of the pretty peonies with berries.
This card came together so organically due to the beautiful images. I stamped my images with Scrapbook.com's Charcoal hybrid ink onto watercolor cardstock. I then watercolored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. Here's my tip for using these markers: you get so much more interest and dimension when using multiple colors. I simply lay down a wash of my base color, let it dry, then lay down additional layers of color using darker shades as I go. I color the markers directly to paper to lay down these washes and use a wet brush to blend them out. You can do this as many times as you want until you achieve the look you're after.
After watercoloring all of my images, I fussy cut them out and put foam tape on the back to add dimension. I stamped my sentiment from Scrapbook.com's You and Me Quotes and Sayings 2 stamp set on my base panel and adhered my watercolored images around the perimeter. I added some gold sequins for a little sparkle and the card was done!
I love the dimensional effect you achieve when popping up watercolored images with foam tape - it just makes the card so much more interesting! I hope you enjoyed this project.
