Hi! Today I am water coloring with markers, on a white heat embossed floral image, today’s tutorial will showing you how I used watercolor markers (zig clean color markers) and having an embossed resist outline of floral images.
For this simple and easy watercolor project, you will need the Autumn Dream stamp set, watercolor cardstock, Zig Clean Color Markers, white embossing powder, and black cardstock.
To begin, we will trim the black cardstock to 5.50 and 4.25 inches, the white watercolor cardstock will be trimmed to 5.25 to 4.00 as it will be matted after the watercolor has dried.
Next, we will heat emboss. With white embossing powder and the images from Autumn Dream, we will heat set the floral and the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment. The black strip will be placed with foam adhesive to a later time when the floral watercolor image is dried.
To watercolor, the floral images, begin with a light wash of light brown at the edge and follow through to the edge of the cardstock without coloring any of the actual flowers or leaves.
The proceed to watercolor all the floral images, then add the green color to the leaves with several washes to really have the watercolor look. When are done adding all the colors, I trimmed the sentiment strip that we heat embossed earlier. Then attached to the card panel with foam adhesive.
Alright, guys, I do have a full tutorial video on the whole thing and it shows the entire watercolor process.
Thank you for watching!
