Watercolor Lifting Technique: Stampin' Up! Birthday Blooms

Watercolor Lifting Technique

It's that time of the week - Saturday! And that means we have a new Technique Challenge inside Stamping And Blogging.  It is the Watercolor Lifting Technique!  I'm a featuring the Birthday Blooms stamp set from Stampin' Up! with a few new In Colors too! 

It's a multi-layered card and also features the Spotlight Technique too!!!!  The focal flower is colored in Daffodil Delight, Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral.

The background of the card is where I used the Watercolor Lifting technique.

Card Instructions

1. Stamp the floral image on Watercolor paper using StazOn ink.
2. Using the Blender Pen and inks (Daffodil Delight, Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo) brush strokes onto the Watercolor paper.
3. Quickly then use an Aqua Painter to start spreading the lines so they start to fade and bleed.
4. I then watercolored the part of the image.
5. Added Dazzling Details to the center.
6. Wrap ribbon around the focal panel.
7. Card Base is Basic Black. Vertical piece of Playful Palette on the left side.  Vertical square like piece of Peekaboo Peach that was embossed with Mosiac Textured Impressions Folder.
8. Adhere the focal watercolored panel with Stampin' Dimensionals.
9. Add some Washi Tape.
10. Stamp a greeting and then punch with Flower Punch.
11. Adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals.
12. You're done :D
