I had previously white heat embossed using my Simon Says Stamp Floral Bliss stamp set onto watercolor paper. Using my Mission Gold watercolors, I colored in the flowers and fussy cut the image out. These colored images were left in the stash for quite some time - I didn't exactly know what to do with them. When going through the stash recently, I pulled them out to see what I could make with them. This card is the example. I used a stencil and Distress Oxide inks in Spiced Marmalade and Worn Lipstick to create the background. Then, I created my own coordinating cardstock with the same inks, ultimately white heat embossing the sentiment to keep with the theme.
The image is too wide for a standard A2 sized card so I trimmed the leaves on the edges and tucked them behind the image. It worked well and I really like the card design. I've set up an assembly line and will spend a couple of nights making coordinating elements for other versions of this same card as I have quite a few of these in the stash. Fun and I get something used in the stash. Win, Win!
