Welcome back to Super Saturday. Today I used my sparkly Iuile watercolor
paints to create a fall themed birthday card.
I love the sparkle from the Iuile’s paints. Kristina Werner uses them frequently on her
blog posts. My card was inspired by one
of her videos which you can see here.
I stamped the large Acacia branch repeatedly on a piece of Stonehenge black watercolor paper that was cut to 2” wide by 5 ½”. I have found that this paper cuts best with a guillotine cutter. Before stamping I generously used my powder tool over the surface of the paper, stamped with VersaMark ink, then embossed with gold embossing powder. I painted the leaves using a variety of fall colors – gold, orange, red and green, then lightly splattered gold watercolor on top. When the water-colored piece was dry, I adhered it to a piece of gold metallic paper that was cut to 2 ¼” x 5 ½”.
I created an A2 card with Kraft cardstock,
then stamped the acacia branch repeatedly on the right side of the card with
VersaMark ink then dried the ink with my heat gun. I stamped the vertical happy birthday stamp
on the right side of the card, then embossed it with gold embossing
powder. I applied Tea Die Distress Oxide
ink around the outer edges of the card, followed by Crackling Campfire then
splattered a bit more gold watercolor paint for a bit more sparkle. To complete the card, I adhered the water-colored
strip to the left side of the card.
