This week at Papertrey Ink, Ashley made a wonderful card, using "Colour Isolation" as the theme, which is just using a neutral ink to stamp a background with the same stamp as the focal point. I loved this look, so gave it a try. I used PTI's "Fashion Sense" and stamped a background in Soft Stone ink, as well as Hero Arts Soft Granite. I watercoloured the main image with red watercolour paint and added the sentiment in white embossing powder. (WPlus9)
And here is another card I made, using Altenew's "Beautiful Day" stamp set. I combined watercolouring with stamping, then heat embossed the outline image in gold embossing powder for more punch. The card front was mounted onto Soft Stone cardstock, which set it off beautifully.
Thanks for looking!
Both cards are beautiful, Kathryn! First I wanted to say that a red dress looks like a flowers, but then I scrolled down and saw a real flower. Great take on the challenge! - Sweet Kobylkin

ReplyDeleteBoth of these are just beautiful Kathryn! I just ordered Beautiful Day yesterday, so I was very excited to see your lovely card with this technique...can't wait for mine to arrive!! :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Kathryn. Love how you added the embossed flowers to your red dress. And don't get me started on the Altenew Beautiful Day card! Gorgeous! I don't own that set, but I rue the day that company started.
ReplyDeleteLove both of these beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL cards, Kathryn. I love how you colored both, but the 'Beautiful Day' flower is amazing and think I need that stamp set NOW. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour red dress really pops on your first card. Great job on color isolation, Kathryn! However, your gold embossed flower and leaves on your second card are stunning. Have seen some beauties using Altenew's Beautiful Day, and yours is definitely one of them.
ReplyDeletelove the watercolouring on your beautiful cards
