Hello Magenta Friends! Cassandra here sharing a heat embossed watercolour card. With holiday time comes time for me to get creative and today I am sharing another seasonal card that I made on the weekend.
The Poinsettia corner stamp was black heat emboss stamped on Strathmore Bristol Vellum two times. The spruce springs were blended with Pine Bough Distress inks and the pine needles with Rustic Wilderness. The flowers were watercoloured with Abandon Coral Distress ink and Iuile Peach watercolour. The leaves are a combo of Peeled Paint Distress ink, Iuile Forest and Neon Leaf watercolours. The berries are painted with Iuile 3D watercolour paint.
Each corner was fussy cut into two sections and then the four sections were adhered to a 5x7" card base covered with a piece of Bazzil cardstock with the spruce spring overlapping each part to create a wreath. The centres were embellished with a three sizes of Darice green jewels. The Merry Christmas sentiment was heat embossed stamped using Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink and Pastel Mint emboss powder.
While I have had these Iuile watercolours for a while, this is the first time that I have painted with them. The colour and sparkle on these are gorgeous. I found that with the mica content is so dense and opaque that it was hard to get shading like I can get for regular watercolours while doing a wet-on-wet painting session. My work around for this was to add some Abandon Coral Distress ink for the flowers and Peeled Paint for the leaves.

I hope you find some inspiration from today's card.
I will try again to get a shading affect solely with these Iuile watercolours when I have more time to do a dried layering/glazing style of painting with them to see if it would give the shading and layering that I like.
Happy creating!
