I’m constantly inspired by other’s cards and Pinterest is my go-to source for cards to copy! 😀 Check out my Card Inspiration Gallery there! I love the look of images stamped in black on a white background, so today I created this beautiful card! Altenew’s Wild Hibiscus set is perfect for this style! I began by stamping out one of the blossoms with Versafine Onyx Black permanent ink onto a white card base, then set that aside. For my oval image, I heat-embossed some blossoms and the butterfly using white embossing powder on a piece of Bristol Smooth watercolor paper. I decided to use my Gansai Tambi watercolors and filled in the background first with a wash of black, then dark blue over it. I dried it with my heat tool, then filled the blossoms with water so that when I dropped in color, it spread and “bloomed”! I wasn’t sure about the butterfly, but I do like the pop of green against the other colors! When the whole panel was dry, I spattered on some white and black paint, then added little jewels as an accent. Using my Gina Marie Designs Stitched Oval dies, I cut the watercolored panel, an oval of black fun foam and a larger oval for the frame. I adhered the painted panel to the fun foam, then to the black frame oval. Hero Arts Happy Stamp and Cut was the perfect addition for my sentiment; I cut the word Happy from black fun foam and mounted it onto the panel then stamped the words “for you” below. I’m so happy with this card! I love how the colored portion really pops against the black and white!
