Super Saturday with Pam – Super Samedis avec Pam

Welcome back to Magenta Super Saturday!  I had so much fun making these cards.  I stamped and painted one large image then cut it into three pieces to create three cards.

I stamped the Floral Background stamp onto a piece of black watercolor paper with VersaMark ink, then embossed with gold embossing powder.  I taped the piece to a board then painted the flowers, leaves and berries with some beautiful Iuile watercolors that I found on the Etsy website. 

The watercolor paper I used is kind of delicate and to get a clean cut you need to use dies or a guillotine cutter. I let the piece dry well then used dies to cut out two 2 3/8” squares from one side of the image.  I used a guillotine cutter to cut a strip 1 5/8” x 5”.    I cut pieces of coordinating solid color cardstock to mat each of the images.  I also cut cream cardstock – 3 ¼” x 4 ½” for the square images and 3 ¾” x 5” for the vertical piece.  I stamped the sentiments and embossed the images on the cream cardstock (gold embossing powder for the happy birthday, clear embossing powder for the other two cards.) 

I positioned (but didn’t attach) each painted image on a piece of cream cardstock.  I wanted to add a bit of interest to the cream cardstock so I used VersaMark ink to stamp the small flower petal from the Petal Blossoms set a few times around the image and sentiment.

I adhered the cream cardstock onto pieces of solid cardstock, adhered the painted images and adhered everything to an A2 card.   

Thanks for visiting the Magenta blog today.
