Watercolour Backgrounds

Here are a couple of cards I made today. The square card has the design heat-embossed with silver pearl powder ( which doesn't show up very well in the photo ). The single poppy was embossed in gold.

Oh Kathryn! They’re beautiful! I love those blues.

Kathryn these are lovely. Your free form card is amazing.

Kathryn, very pretty!

Beautiful art, Kathryn. They should be framed and hung in a special place.

Very pretty!! The metallic embossing is super on those watercolor backgrounds. Terrific idea!

[pamcook]

Did you add the embossing after you painted the background?

[Monica]

Gorgeous cards, Kathryn!

Thankyou for your kind comments. Pam, I painted a fairly faint background, did the embossing and then went back and added another wash of paint over the petals of the poppies. I had not tried this before and there were times when I thought they would end up in the bin!

These came out really nice, in the photo the silver
embossed looks almost like a ghost image on the blue
Something different to do with our watercolors
thanks for sharing

I’m so glad they didn’t end up in the bin. They really are very lovely.

Very pretty Kathryn, and oh so clever to enhance the petals after stamping.
