(Bleaching + Stamping + Heat embossing)
and
No bleach in my house which had me worried for the CAS Mix Up challenge until I read the fine print and saw that I could water color an image and remove the color with water!
The base card is white card stock.
On water color paper I stamped the Peddler’s Pack “Roses” stamp with Versamark ink and then heat embossed it with black embossing powder.
Next I water colored it with a deep layer of Distress ripe persimmon ink.
This reminds me of a wonderful rose I had in the garden of my old house and it was my favorite.
Next I used water and a brush to float off the color from sections of the rose.
Once dry I trimmed the piece and applied it to the card front.
To finish I stamped the sentiment from the Gina K. Designs “Layered Eucalyptus” set using Gina K. Designs black amalgam ink.
Love this dramatic card Arlene - that rose is a stunner - not just the stamp but how you have coloured it.
