Magenta Super Saturday - Hope

Welcome back to my blog and Magenta Super Saturday.  

For today’s card I stamped the Spring Warbler on a piece of white cardstock, then colored with Prismacolor pencils. You can also see my card on the Magenta blog here

I restamped with VersaMark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder.  I die cut the image using the Sizzix Stacked Archway dies, then used Salty Ocean Distress ink to shade the edges of the die cut.  I also cut two more die cuts and glued all three pieces together. 
For the background piece I applied Ripe Persimmon Distress ink through the Tumbled Leaves stencil onto a piece of watercolor paper that I had previously colored with Nuance powders.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of white cardstock and embossed with gold embossing powder.  I trimmed it to 3 7/8” x 1 ¼” and also cut two more strips the same size.  I adhered all three pieces together.  I adhered the background to a white, A2, then adhered the stamped image and the sentiment.  I added a few sequins for some sparkle.   

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Magenta Super Saturday - Spring Daisies

Welcome back to my blog and Magenta Super Saturday.  For today’s card I used Distress inks to watercolor the image
I positioned the large and small daisy stamps in my MISTI then used Mustard Seed Distress ink to stamp the images on a piece of watercolor paper.  I used a very damp brush to blend the color into the center of the petals. 
I stamped the images again with Ripe Persimmon Distress ink.  After the panel dried I stamped it again with VersaMark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I repeated the process with the small daisy stamp.
For the background I found a piece in my stash that I created by applying green Pan Pastels to a piece of textured white cardstock.  I trimmed it to 4” x 5 ¼”, then stamped the sentiment in the lower right corner and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I fussy cut the daisies, then adhered them to the background.  I used foam adhesive on the back of the large daisy to give it extra dimension then adhered the piece to an A2 card.  I added a few sequins for some added sparkle.  You can also see my card on the Magenta blog here.
