I had a ton of fun creating three cards with the Amy Tangerine x Altenew Release- keep reading to see all the details!
For this card, I started by stamping and embossing the flowers from the Hug Life set onto some Distress Watercolor Cardstock. To get a nice crisp, black emboss, I Use Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp the flowers a few times, letting the ink build up, and then I use an ultra fine clear embossing powder. Whenever I do ANY embossing, I prep the surface using the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool. I then proceeded to watercolor the flowers with Distress Watercolor Pencils.
I created the background by doing a bit of “pigment smooshing” following the same steps as “ink smooshing” but using Distress Watercolor Pencils instead of an ink pad. I also added some splatters with Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colors. I stamped and embossed the sentiment, die cutting all of the images out and assembling them onto the card. I then added a few Trinity Stamps, Bubble Blow Out Embellishments.
For this next card, I started by ink blending the rainbow using the Through The Rainbow stencil set and the Ocean Dreams Mini Ink Cube Set onto Distress White Heavystock. I used blender brushes (that I store in my favorite brush caddy). As always when I use stencils I used the Make Art Stay-tion and whenever I am ink blending I love to use the Ink Stands to hold my ink pads, I also use a small mister bottle filled with Isopropyl Alcohol, to quickly clean my stencils with a Flour Sack Cloth. Have you seen my new *exclusive* Flour Sack cloths?! They are wicked fun and available in my online shop!
I then stamped the rainbow arches from the Through The Rainbow stamp set using the same mini ink cube set. I added a bit of texture by stamping some of the plus signs as part of the stamp set. I added a few water droplets using the Distress Sprayer. I then splattered a bit of gold from the Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colors. I stamped, and diecut the sentiment, adding it to the card with foam squares. I added a touch of Chunky Glitter around the arches of the rainbow with Glossy accents, and I added some Trinity Stamps, Cave Crystals- Iridescent Glossy Transparent Confetti Mix as well.
For this last card, I scribbled some pigment from Distress Watercolor Pencils directly onto the stamps from the A Fresh Start Stamp Set, and stamped it onto some Distress White Heavystock Cardstock. I then added a few splatters of gold from the Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colors. I added some waterdroplets, allowing the marks and splatters to blur a bit. I embossed the hearts directly onto the background. I stamped and die cut the sentiment and added it to the card with foam squares. I added a sprinkling of sequins to finish off the card.
