Distress Watercolor Dry Embossing

This is a CASED card from Splitcoast Stampers tutorial "Distress Watercolor Dry Embossing"

The embossing folder is Manhattan Flower Folder from Stampin' Up on their Shimmery White card stock. A brayer with Versamark Ink was lightly rolled over the embossed flower, clear fine embossing powder applied and heated. The Distress Ink refills were applied with a paintbrush and sprayed with water and allowed to spread. After drying, the card was sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist.

Three Clean and Simple Cards



Once again I used Kittiekraft.typepad.com 's tutorial on making little flowers...it is really easy and fun to do when you are too tired to make a card....just piddle around and make a bunch and then you have a stockpile of them to put on cards!

Cardstock: GP 110 lb white card stock
Stamp: Rubbernecker Stamps
Die: Memory Box Medallion
Flowers: I used post it notes for the colored papers, MS Hydrangea punch and Fiscars daisy border punch. The leaves are the popped out pieces from the medallion, colored darker with Copic marker.






Basically a clean and simple card with Hero Arts flowers stamp cut out and popped up on dimensionals with a Rubbernecker Stamps sentiment on GP white card stock colored with Copic markers.






I CASE 'd a card from Rubber Soul Stamps using their Mens Collection stamp set. Colored with Copics and added a MS butterfly punch on red Gina K card stock.
PS: I'm thinking the butterfly should be the smaller one...this one seems to overtake the flowers?
