Gold embossing with water color hydrangea card

   I did one more card for the Mod Squad challenge blog. I used a pretty hydrangea flower from Raisin boat stamps. I used versa mark ink to stamp it on water color paper and then embossed it with gold. I die cut a butterfly with a spellbinders die and then covered it with versa mark ink and embossed it with gold. I then used water color pencils to color the flower and used a aqua brush to blend the colors. This is really easy as the water stays inside the embossed lines. I used an oval spellbinders die and a pretty mat die they have to put out the colors of the flower. I added the butterfly to bring out the gold embossing on the flower. A very pretty card that was really easy to do.
   The person I cased is Katerina she has done this technique and I always wanted to try it.
   I hope you pull out your embossing powders and water color pencils and give this technique a try.

Hexagon and flowers 2 challenges in one card

O.K. this is a combo of challenges one being for Moxie Fab's Hexagon challenge and the other is Mod Squad's Flower challenge. I must say I have not thought too much about using my Hexagon die set so this was a good kick in the pants to get it out and use it. I used Raisin Boat's Blissful Blossom's poppies flower.I stamped them on water color paper and then used  water color pencils to color them in. I stamped one extra and cut it out and then used foam tape to pop it up on the card for dimension.I die cut the flowers with the Hexagon as well as the aqua and black mats. I found a fun orange printed paper for the card background as well as a coordinating print for the stripe to put under the hexagon. I sponged the edge of the water color paper with black ink to pull out the black,I also did this on the cream and orange print paper. I added 3 small black rhinestones on the side. I stamped the Get well soon ( Raisin Boat) and die cut it with a small oval and edged it with black ink on a sponge also to tie in the black accents on the card. I love challenges they really make me go out of my norm. I like the results with these fun colors i came up with to go with my poppies.
  Thanks for stopping in and checking out my card.Be sure to check out the other wonderful cards on the 2 blogs I am entering this card to.

Chicken's and Monkey's

I pulled out some old stamp sets I love playing with. My chicken's and Monkey's are colored with copic markers. I also had fun with some red gingham paper too. I hope you enjoy and get inspired to play too. I did some of these for challenges and some just for fun.
