Watercolor poppy flowers + patterned paper card background

July 22, 2020 - by Gaylynn

Watercolor poppy flowers + patterned paper card background

Hello, Gaylynn here. For Technique Time, I show a way to combine watercolor poppy flowers with patterned paper background detail.
Watercolor poppy flowers added over patterned paper looks beautiful in card making.

 

Sentiment:  Best wishes.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips to create this card with watercolor poppy flowers and patterned paper.  First, stamp onto the smooth side of watercolor paper with waterproof ink.  Then, add watercolor of choice.  I used Prima Art Philosophy watercolor for these poppies.  Next, heat set and cut out the flowers (fussy cutting).  Then, trim or die-cut the background panel from patterned paper of choice to fit the card base.  Finally, layer the background and then pop up the flower and sentiment, to finish.

Here is my video tutorial for this project.  It will detail the full process.

Supplies include Unity Stamp Co. Aging Gorgeously {July 2020 Sentiment Kit} and also Pink & Blue Watercolored {paper pack}

Also, original Misti, flat and foam double-sided clear tape, MCT Zig Zag Background Die; Fiskars paper trimmer, Prima Art Philosophy watercolor tubes, Ranger watercolor paper, archival ink in jet black, distress marker in black soot and multi medium matte glue; watercolor brush.
