Heat-Embossed Resistant and Watercolor Ornaments Card

Today card is a heat-embossed resist watercolor card. I found this tutorial how to create these simple watercolor ornaments using several mediums. But today, I use Sakura Koi watercolor paint.

The sentiment I used on my card is a Bible Verse from Luke 2:11 that I found at Hobby Lobby from Stampabilities. This Bible verse is an announcement about the birth of the King of kings and Lord of Lords, the Savior we have been waiting for so long, Jesus Christ.

I want the sentiment is heat-embossed resisten in the middle of them so, first I heat-embossed the verse stamp on a piece of Canson Watercolor paper and then I started painting small circles using Sakura Koi Watercolor pocket field travel set. This set has 24 bright beautiful colors.

I dryed them using my Craft Heater for speedy drying. Then I drew the outline, string and bow of those ornaments using Faber Castell PITT Artist Pen. And I thought they are ornaments and they do need some sparkle and shine, right? So I grabbed my Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush, brushed the glitter all over the ornaments and they are done.

Next step is I cut a piece of old hymal music paper, added on kraft card base and sponged on it some Vintage Photo Distress Ink using Sponge Dauber. Then I added the painted pannel on the card and finished it with some Start assortment wood chip from Freckled Fawn.

1 Sketch, 2 Christmas Cards

Last weekend I went out with my friends to Hobby Lobby and I found this Stampabilitties rubber stamp that has Christmas verse on it for only $3! I love the verse from Luke2:11. This is what Christmas trully means.

Today I am sharing 2 Christmas cards I made using 1 sketch from Mojo Monday 428.

The tags I created using Canson waterolor paper because I painted the backgrounds.

Luke 2:11 , caed by Helen G. http://wp.me/p1DmW0-26m | #cardmaking #handmadecard #christmascard

For the first card I used the old hymnal music sheet for the background paper and the border strip is from CTMH – Sparkle and Shine paper packet. I heat embossed the sentiment using AC Black Glitter Finish Embossing Powder. Then embellished it with twine bow and a glitter holly leaves and red sequins.

I also link this card at Virginia’s View Challenge #21 – All About Glitter.

This second card I used the same sketch from Mojo Monday 428. On this card, I created that cute bow using WRMK Envelope Punch Board. It is very easy to do that. I followed this tutorial if you want to try 🙂

I watercolored the tag background using Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean Distress Mini Ink Pads and wet them using Aquash Waterbrush. It was fun watching the colors blended and mixed together and how they react with water.

2 cards are done today and I only need 15 more to make for our church friends.

THANK YOU for stopping by today and have a blessed week!

You’re Like A Cup Of Tea

Happy National Tea Day! I love drinking tea since I was little and there are many kind of tea from the country where I came from. My favorite tea is green tea leaves.

Inspired by this tea day, I made this card:

I stamped the image from Treats of Friendship stamp set on a piece of Watercolor Paper with Archival Black Exclusive Inks Pad, fussy cut it, and watercolored it using Pearlescents paint. I heat-embossed the steam then added the cut image with 3D foam. Then on a piece of vellum paper, I heat embossed the sentiment from thecsame stamp set.

My card is pretty simple and quick 🙂
