Non-traditional wedding card

Hello to you all! Today I wanted you to show you a weddding card that I made for a crafty friend. Well, it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted because the watercolor background was waaaay to intense (kind of looks like flames?). But well...at least these are happy colors? :)


I stamped the three Amigos from Mama Elephant on Neenah Solar White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers (raccoon: IG1, IG2, IG6, IG8, IG10, fox: Blender, IG1, OR1, OR2, OR3, act: EB1, EB2, GB8, GB10).
For the background I used Canson Mixed Media paper and applied quite some water with a brush. Using my Gansai Tambi watercolors (36, 31, 33, 40) I tried to blend the colors together and dried them with my heat tool. I guess I just used too much of the watercolors. These colors are highly pigmented and for a softer touch you should use more water. 


The sentiment "Happy wedding day" is from Altenew and I really like this big, big happy sentiment. I stamped it with Archival Jet Black ink after the watercolors were dry.
To assemble the card, I adhered a strip of red cardstock on a white cardbase and over it the watercolor panel. Using my Crop-a-dile I rounded the corners of the card using 1/2". To adhere the fox I used 3D foam squares. The other to critters were glued on the card with liquid glue.

Watercolor flowers 2 (Create A Smile)

Today I am going to show you the second card I made out of the floral watercolor panel. If you want to now how I created the panel, just click here and you will be redirected to the first card I made. I will also link it up to the November Guest Design Search by Create A Smile. Oh god, I am completely spamming them...
For this second card, I used the center piece and placed it on the top of a white cardbase. I also made two gold strips using the Gold Satin Pearl embossing powder by WOW and placed them at the top and bottom of the floral panel.


This time, I didn't want to include dimension on the floral panel but on the piece that has the sentiment on it. I used white cardstock and stamped the sentiment "herzlichen Glückwunsch" (Congratulations) with Archival Jet Black ink in the center of the panel and adhered it to the cardbase using white fun foam.

Watercolor flowers (Create A Smile)

It's time for another floral card using the stamp sets by Create A Smile. I always find myself coming back to these stamp sets - and I really don't have that with other sets. They are just so nice to color with different media. And I also created this card for the November Guest Designer Search from Create A Smile. Maybe I get lucky :)
Currently I am really into colored pencil in contract to a CAS sentiment - so here you can find another example. I stamped the flowers from two sets with VersaMark ink onto watercolor cardstock and embossed them with Gold Satin Pearl embossing powder by WOW. This is such a beautiful and subtle embossing powder - I just love it - and it goes really well with these flowers. I also created some masks so I would be able to layer the flowers behind one another. 


After I'd stamped all flowers I colored them in  with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens. If you're interested in all the colors I used, you'll find them listed below. I layed down my color and used a brush to either blend out the color or blend two or more colors together.
Red flower: 23, 29, 50, 70, pink flower: 50, 70, 82, sun flower: 50, 52 + 67, 60, orange flower: 70, 50, lilac flower: 84, background: 36


Then, I had to do the most difficult thing for me: I had to cut the colored flowers and I really hoped I wouldn't mess up! And unfortunately, I liked the end result!. I cut ouf a strip from the center and used it in another card that will come to the blog soon. 
To give my card a bit of dimension, I used funfoam behind the two strips. Before I glued them to the top and bottom of my cardbase, I stamped the sentiment happy birthday using a set from WPlus9 and Altenew in the center of the card using Archival Jet Black Ink.
