Watercolor Blessings for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I have chosen to make a watercolor blessings card using my Watercolor Pencils and Water Painters.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the water color blessings card, you will need:

Gorgeous Grape card base – 7½” by 5¾” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅛”
Wonderful World dsp – 5½” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 4”
Wonderful World dsp – 5⅝” by 1”
Basic White card – 3 ½” by 3 ½”
Basic White card – 3⅛” by 3⅛”

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to adhere the 5½” by 3” panel of dsp to the 5⅝” by 3⅛” piece of Basic White card. The panel was then glued to the smaller front panel of the Gorgeous Grape card front.

The large image from the Blessing From Home was stamp set onto the stitched circle in Basic Gray ink and used Water Color Pencils and Water Painters to colour it in. I mounted the coloured circle on a slightly larger circle cut from the larger square. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto the Basic White strip in Gorgeous Grape ink, I masked off the words I didn’t want. I trimmed down the strip and added the sentiment to the card front on a Dimensional.

Cake Soiree by Stampin' Up!

Chocolate Cake Soiree

Today’s card, featuring a spectacular Chocolate Cake made using the Cake Soiree stamp set and Sweet Cake framelit dies, was inspired by a stunning card made by Carolyn Bennie, a fellow demonstrator from Australia. I love Carolyn’s technique for water colouring on dark cardstock and couldn’t wait to give it a go.

I began by stamping the gorgeous ‘floral cake’ image in Versamark Ink onto a scrap piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I covered the stamped image with White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. When the image was dry I added colour using my Watercolor Pencils; starting with the lightest Calypso Coral and working through the Melon Mambo and finishing with touches of Rich Razzelberry to add intensity. I added a little Daffodil Delight to the flower centres as well. I love the soft look of this technique. Following Carolyn’s tutorial I then added Early Espresso shadowing on the cake itself, it does give a subtle impression of dimension. The cake was then die cut using my Big Shot and the Sweet Cake framelit dies.

I die cut the cake base and stand from scrap Whisper White cardstock and added them to the back of the die cut cake with Tombow Liquid Glue.

I took a Thick Whisper White card base and added a 5½” by 3¾” layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock. This was topped with a panel of Calypso Coral dsp 5⅜” by 3⅝” taken from the Delightful Daisy dsp pack. The cake was added to the lower right corner with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using Versamark ink I stamped the Happy Birthday from the same stamp set, having masked off the rest of the sentiment with a post it note onto a scrap of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I added White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool before trimming it out with scissors and adding it to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
