Happy Friday, Crafty Friends -- Today is release day over at Ellen Hutson LLC! Once again, Julie Ebersole has a wonderful mix of whimsical stamps and die combos, along with some great stand alone dies you can mix with anything in your collection!
I've used some of both on today's card: the new Good Times stamp and coordinating Good Times die sets, along with the Big City and Landscapes die sets, to create this Embossed Watercolor birthday card!
I hope you can see in the photo above how the multi-color sentiment is shiny? That's because I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Watercolor Markers to ink the letters and words in different colors directly on the stamp. First I stamped the sentiment all over with Versamark using my Misti, then without cleaning the stamp, I applied the different colors of watercolor marker directly on the stamp. The Versamark on the watercolor paper and left over on the stamp help to keep the color nice and wet long enough to then clear heat emboss, for that fun shiny look! I did the same for the balloon outlines, then filled in the balloons with watercolor of the same color.
Color on the fun scooter was kept subdued, so the colored sentiment and balloons can take center stage ... I used Copic C1 and C2 to shade.
To finish the card, I die cut the sentiment piece (white watercolor paper) with the new Big City skyline die along the top edge and adhered to a black card base. Then the Landscapes die was used to cut the lower edge of the card. The scooter and balloons were mounted with foam tape.
I'll have another card using this release to share with you next week, but in the meantime head over to the Ellen Hutson CLASSroom blog to find more inspiration from the rest of the Ellen Hutson team today!
