Pastel Folk Art Card

I’m finally putting this up. Sorry for the delay! For my Labor Day cards I used the Altenew Folk Art stamp & die set. I basically copied a card made by Tricia at InkyPlanner but used watercolor pencils instead of alcohol markers. 

After stamping the image on watercolor paper with Versamark ink I heat embossed it in silver. I colored in the design using Cretacolor Aqua Monolith Woodless Watercolor pencils.  These are a high quality pencil that the Altenew Woodless Watercolor pencils are modeled after. Once colored in, I used a Ranger fine tip water brush to wet, activate, and move around the color.

Using the coordinating die I cut the design and popped it on a pale gray mat with foam tape. I then attached it to a spring green A2 card base. I didn’t think it needed anything else so left it as is. 

I’ll be entering it in the DRU Challenge #176- ANYTHING GOES, the Simon Says: Stamp It challenge, The House That Stamps Built - Theme Challenge S821 ~ Let’s See Your Sparkle and Shine, and the Simon Says: Sparkle & Shine challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!
