Amazing You!

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing a project using the new RG retail line "Make Amazing" by Richard Garay. This is a fun, trendy collection with the watercolor effect. You can check the catalog HERE. This collection has beautiful florals too, which I used today.

I used the flowers and leaves to create an entire background. It is so easy to create watercolor effect using these stamps.

Here is a close up:

Here are a few steps on how to create the watercolor effect

Stamp the flower using Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. Apply a little water to the stamped area using a damp brush. Let it dry slightly.

Once it's slightly dry, stamp the same flower again using picked Raspberry DI. Using a damp brush, dab the ink slightly.

Stamp the leaves using Cracked Pistachio DI. Apply a little water to it. Dab some Peacock Feathers ink to an acrylic block and apply a little ink onto the lower pars of the wet leaf. Let dry.

Once dry, stamp the leaf over the previously stamped image using Cracked Pistachio ink. This defines the leaves more.

Now dab some mustard seed DI and black soot ink onto an acrylic block. Apply a little to the centers of the flowers. (Sorry my photo didn't come clear for this step).

Once the background panel is ready, die-cut it using the Pierced Rectangle die. Now die-cut this panel using the medium sized Pierced Word bubbles die.

Die-cut a piece of vellum using the same bubble die.

Make card from whipped Cream cardstock. Adhere the bubble die-cut piece by positioning it using the mat layer.

Stamp and emboss the sentiment onto the vellum. Adhere it onto the bubble die-cut piece. (Tip: Apply glue only to the back part behind the embossed area, to prevent glue to show through. )

Apply 3D foam tape to the mat layer and adhere it onto the base.

Hope this inspires you to create wonderful watercolor effect using stamps.
