Welcome creative friends to The Card Concept Challenge: Autumn Bounty!
I was inspired by the hydrangeas and attempted to mimic the muted colors, but I got a bit carried away with the blues in my Mixed Media card! I began with Altenew's Paint-A-Flower Hydrangea Stamp Set:
I stamped the floral image onto Ranger's Inkssential Water Color Paper (smooth size) with Versamark Ink, a sticky clear ink, and sprinkled Ranger's Princess Gold Embossing power over it and heat set.
Next, I stamped this same image onto Gina K's Masking Magic and fussy cut out the entire image. This piece was adhered over the gold embossed image so I could stamp a background over it, but not on the floral image itelf. I used Scrapbook.com's Hybrid Ink Camel and a Simon Says Stamp Grid Background stamp I have in my stash. I felt it gave the card something in the background, but left a lot of white, which I prefer.
Once dry, I was ready to watercolor. I basically used Paperbag and Mountain Mist from Altenew's 36 Half Pan Watercolor set and also a little bit of Frayed Leaf and Citrus Burst. I wet the area with clean water first and then drop in the color.
When it was dry, I put the card front in my Splat Box and tapped on watered down Mountain Mist with my paint brush for a little somethin-somethin in the background. Of course, mine looks nothing like this picture. Mine is well loved!
The card was finished with a Happy Birthday sentiment from Concord & 9th Happy Day Stamp Set (I believed retired) gold heat embossed with the same Ranger Princess Gold onto Licorice Black card stock. I used one of my Avery Elle Simply Sentiments die to cut it out - an all time favorite die set of mine! Cuts perfectly which for some reason I can't do by hand nor on a cutter.
The sentiment was popped up with foam tape. The edges were cut with a stitching die I have in my stash and all adhered to a Neenah 100lb Classic Crest A2 size card base. A few gold metallic pearls from my Stampin' Up! days, finished the card.
