Happy Wednesday STAMPlorations Fans,
I am so excited to have this opportunity to be a guest designer for STAMPlorations' September Challenge (Theme and Sketch No. 38). If you know me, you know I love a good challenge, and this is definitely one! Stamping enthusiasts have an opportunity to use the sketch, theme or both! The theme for September is Music and Stamps. I decided to pair this month's sketch with the beautiful Lotus Love stamp set.
The lotus blossoms were perfect for a watercolor technique. I masked and stamped the images several times using Memento Ink (Tuxedo Black) onto Canson watercolor paper. After drying, I then used my Gansai Tambi watercolor palette to color my scene. I created a little banner for my sentiment and heat embossed it using Ranger's gold embossing powder. To complete the card, I added a little gold twine and matching sequins.
Thank you for stopping by. For more product information and inspiration, visit the STAMPlorations shop and blog. You will be glad you did!
Smiles,
Keia
