Video: Creating Layers of Floral Rainbows

Hello there, Michelle here and today I have a card to share with you using the Succulent Bouquet stamp set. I thought about going traditional with my colours but then I thought, what if I went in a completely different direction and create a rainbow coloured succulent!

Here is the video showing how I made the card:

If you are having trouble viewing this video, please try watching it HERE on YouTube.

I started off my card by taking a piece of watercolour paper and stamping the large Succulent Bouquet image on to it using Intens-ified Black Ink . I adhered the panel to a board using tape (to try and prevent warping) and then spritzed it with water using the Water Mist Bottle .

With a paintbrush, I then dropped in rainbow colours of Liquid Watercolors. I used Pink , Orange , Dandelion , Pine , Deep Ocean and Purple . I then spritzed it again with water and left it to dry. Once dry, the panel was die cut using a Nesting Rectangle Infinity Die . It was adhered to an A2 card base made from Pitch Black Cardstock with tape runner adhesive.

I took the Succulent Bouquet image again and stamped it on to white cardstock with more Intens-ified Black Ink . It was coloured using Copic Markers, keeping the colours situated in the same areas as the background panel. It was then die cut out using the Succulent Bouquet Frame Cuts . I also cut the die twice from Dove White Cardstock .

I adhered the die cuts together to create a thicker image piece and then adhered it on top of the watercoloured piece with Precision Glue . I took the sentiment from the Message Strips Stamp & Cut XL and stamped it on to Pitch Black Cardstock with Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink . I applied White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was die cut using the coordinating die and adhered on to the card with foam tape. To finish off, I added a few black enamel dots from the Neutrals Hero Hues Enamel Dots pack.

I really like how it looks like the colour from the succulent is bursting out on to the card! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful week. Happy crafting!
