Rose Red

It's been a hectic few weeks in our household and unfortunately I wasn't able to post a blog update last week but I'm back, just in time for another Crazy Crafters Team Highlight.

I've been playing with Stampin' Up!'s Rose Wonder stamp set and the matching Rose Garden thinlit dies and this is one of the cards I have created with this set.


For the cardfront I used Real Red cardstock and die cut the large rose from the thinlit set.  As I wanted to watercolour the rose, I stamped the rose image onto some watercolour paper using Versamark and heat set it with white embossing powder.  For a more vibrant result with the watercolouring, I put some water down on the watercolour paper and then used Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler re-inkers and a paint brush to apply the colour.  Once dry, I lined the watercolour piece up with the die cut image in the cardfront and glued them together.  I then adhered this to a Real Red card base.


A white heat embossed sentiment from the Watercolour Wishes stamp set and a few pearls finish off the card.

  2. I don't have this die and stamp set but certainly your card made me put the set on my wishlist.

    1. Thanks Jessie. I tend to overwork my watercolouring so I tried to let it do it's thing this time and I'm really happy with how it turned out.
