Offset card panel + Zig watercolor & embossed grapes ~ tutorial

 Hi there.  For Technique Time at Unity, I am showing a card using an offset card panel accented with gold heat embossing and watercolor grapes.

This offset card panel in watercolor could be used for almost any set of stamps.  It creates an interesting look against patterned paper.

Sentiment:

Sending prayers

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for creating this offset card panel.  To begin, stamp and heat emboss onto watercolor paper.  Also, be sure to position the stamps so that they will fit into your planned offset area.  Next, add watercolor to the grapes and the leaves.  I used Zig clean color real brush watercolor, but most any will do.  Then, once dry, die-cut the offset panel into an oval shape using a circle or a border metal die.  Next, place a trimmed patterned paper panel as the background and then top with the grape panel.  Finally, add embellishments to finish.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Monochromatic hand cut leaves card overlay + Copics

 Hello.  Today, I am showing an easy way to get texture and depth to stamping.  These monochromatic leaves are partially cut and popped up to create interest.

Sentiment:  It's the little things in life.

This card was simple to make.  To begin, simply stamp onto a pre-cut piece of colored cardstock, using alcohol friendly ink or ink for use with your particular markers.  Next, add color in tone on tone shades.  I used green Copic marker shades first, and accented with darker tones.  Then, hand cut the bottom portion of the leaves only.  Onto the card base, add black splatters using watercolor and a paint brush.  Finally, layer the leaves panel and add gems to assemble the card.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
