Soft floral stamping and watercolor card accents.

For Watercolor Wednesday, I am sharing a card using watercolor card accents along with soft floral stamping.

Sentiment:  Never stop making wishes.

This was made by stamping the florals and lace in two colors of ink.  Then a separate watercolor panel was created and trimmed for coordinating card accents.

The full article and tutorial are up on the Unity blog.

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

Soft Floral Stamping + Watercolor Card Accents

By Gaylynn Martling for Unity’s Watercolor Wednesday
(See also the video tutorial for this project.)
Begin by stamping the main panel onto regular cardstock.  I used two colors for the flowers and for the lace trim.
I stamped twice using the Mini Misti with Ranger sap green archival ink and MFT grapesicle ink.
I used distress ink to make my own watercolor card accents.  I added 3 colors to 1 strip of watercolor paper.
Before adding splatters, I masked the stamping using the stamp backing paper and repositionable adhesive.
Distress ink pads used:  dusty concord, milled lavender and peeled paint.
Once dry, I cut 2 flags and punched 1 heart for card accents.  Everything was layered and embellished to finish.

Here is another look.

Supplies:  Unity Stamp Co. You Are My Person, Good Things With Wings and Straight Laced; Mini Misti, Ranger watercolor paper, archival ink in sap green and distress ink pads in dusty concord, milled lavender and peeled paint; MFT ink in grapesicle, My Creative Time dies, heat tool and adhesive gems.
