So I'm going to do a little tutorial real quickies how I created this card. To create this look, I used watercolor paper (Canson is my favorite, I like the thickness) and inked up the peony using my go to Top Boss embossing ink, then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. It looked like this:
I then took my Distress Marker in Chipped Sapphire and started coloring in what I thought the darkest part of the flower would be in real life. Next, I took my water brush pen and started brushing outwards, to get this effect:
The water from the brush pen resists against the white embossing, so it's basically fail proof! Love that. I then cut out the flower and adhered it to my navy card base after I heat embossed the sentiment in white.
Glued a flower center embellie from Hobby Lobby and that's it!
Thanks for joining me today. Have a great weekend.
