Project Instructions:

To start, I die cut two pieces of watercolor paper using the Small Cross Stitched Rectangle Stackables Dies.  I cut one large one for the main panel of my card and one small for the focal point.

Sparkle1

I stamped “bravo” onto the small panel and heat embossed it with clear powder.  By embossing it, it is protected from the water and watercolors; the ink won’t bleed.

Sparkle2

Then I gently added a plain wash of water onto it.

Sparkle3

I colored directly onto the flower stamp using watercolor markers and stamped them onto the damp panel.  Since the paper was still wet, the ink spread out, like I painted it with watercolors!

I repeated the same process a few times with more flowers and leaves, too.  Then, I painted some light blue in the background to soften the harshness of the white paper.

Sparkle6

Once everything was dry (a heat gun can be used to speed up the process), I placed the cardstock into a shoe box and sprayed it with Gold Glitter Dust™ Spray.  I sprayed it twice, just to make sure it was super shimmery!

Sparkle7

After that dried (it didn’t take very long, just a few minutes), I added some sequins to the front and adhered everything together.

Sparkle8

I used the 3D white foam squares to pop up the front panel.
