Embossed Rose

I made this background using a clear block, markers, and water. I really like the effect. The amount of water you apply will determine the look that you achieve. Give it a try. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   You've Got This

Paper:

   Sweet Sugarplum A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   VersaMark

Markers:

   Soft Sky

   Pink Pirouette

   Sweet Sugarplum

   Garden Green

   Emerald Envy

   Delightful Dijon

Technique:

   Heat Embossing

   Clear Block Watercolor

Accessories:

   Black Embossing Powder

   Embossing Buddy

   Water Mister (Spritzer)

   Clear Block "F"

   Adhesive

First, I colored the clear block, using the markers in the order listed above: Soft Sky at the top and ending with Delightful Dijon on the bottom.

I then misted the block with water. I did not add much, so this panel was a bit splotchy. The more water you add, the more blurry or blended effect. Note the Soft Sky had the most water. You can also choose to add more water with a watercolor brush. I did not.

Once, the block was misted with water, I set it on the Basic White panel for a bit to allow the color to soak into the paper.

Once it was dry, I went over the panel with an Embossing Buddy.

I then stamped the image and sentiment with VersaMark.

I applied some Black Embossing Powder and then heat set it.

I added the panel to a Basic Black matte, and then adhered it to the Sweet Sugarplum card front.

Lastly, I adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

   Stampin' Seal

First, I stamped my image on the 1-1/2 x 3-3/4 inch Basic White panel. I also stamped the dove on a small scrap of Basic White. I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink for both of these.

I then fussy cut the dove and put it aside. I then ran the White image through the die cutting machine, using the Framed Florets Dies.

Next, I took the Pool Party panel and ran it through the die cutting/embossing machine as well. I made sure the Basic White fit nicely inside the Pool Party frame.

I then took the scrap of Soft Succulent and stamped the sentiment, using VersaMark. I applied Black embossing powder and heat set it, using my heating tool. I then playfully cut around it. You can easily use a punch or die cut as well.

Finally, I assembled the card. I adhered the DSP panel to a Basic White matte and then onto the Soft Suede card front.

I laid out the sentiment, image, and dove on the front panel. I then attached the image and embossed frame using liquid adhesive. The dove and sentiment were added with dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
