This week's PTI MIM video showed how to watercolor an image & then over stamp after inking just the outer edges of the image. I don't have PTI flowers like Erin used so I chose Harvest Berries--one of my favorite sets. Love that it has matching dies & I used one for the small image. I actually found my one small watercolor set that hasn't been used in years. Instead of a coordinating ink color, I used gold & the effect is beautiful in person. All the edges are also inked in gold. The sentiment is from PTI Quilled Elegance & is stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia. I used a Sizzix embossing folder on the kraft panel & all the layers are mounted with foam tape. I didn't plan it, but I think this could be for a guy. I'm also entering the Birthday Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World & the Birthday Celebrations challenge at A Passion for Papertrey. I love hearing what you think, so thanks for leaving a comment.
Edited to add: I'm adding this card to the challenge at Seize the Birthday.
such a wonderful technique, beautiful birthday card :)
