Good morning! This week Stampendous is collaborating with Faber-Castell so it's going to be a mixed media type week! Faber-Castell sent the DT all kinds of fun Design Memory Craft products: gelatos, pencils, gesso and more!
For this card I began with a white panel of heavy watercolor paper and swiped three colors of gelatos across the panel. I spritzed that with water then blended it out with a flat brush. I then added some of the darkest shade of red around the edges and blended that in with my finger.
After that was dry I stamped the Cherish Heart stamp in versamark ink then embossed it with a combo of Aged Scarlet and Aged Hunter embossing enamels.
I finished the card off with a panel of green embossed with Botanical Blooms and Aged Hunter embossing enamel and a large May Arts ribbon.
Be sure to check in at the Stampendous blog all this week to see who's playing along and we'll finish with a big Hop this Friday!
Love it, especially the embossing enamel, just discovered this product..
