For the past few weeks, I have been experimenting with Twinkling H2O. It is a type of shimmering watercolors that came in a little jar, available almost in 200 vibrant colors. The color gives a pearl iridescent look yet it is extremely intense vibrant. So I decided to create a card to show Twinkling H2O by using couples of different method.

Twinkling H2O Watercolor Card

Tool:
Stampendous Live Creatively Cling Stamp
Hero Arts Everything Flower Stamp
Spellbinders Shapeabilities Les Papillions
Twinkling H2O #2454, #2455
Ranger Liquid Pearls in White Opal
Black Cardstock
Watercolor Paper
Versamark watermark stamp pad
White Embossing Power
Heat Gun
Double Adhesive Tape

Applying Twinkling H2O watercolor on the stamp using brush and simply stamp it on the paper. The result maybe unpredictable but when you get a good one. It is amazing feeling.^^

Using Versamark watermark stamp pad on Hero Arts Everything Flower Stamp and stamp directly on the black cardstock. Sprinkle white embossing powder on entire surface then use the heat gun to melt and set the powder.

Twinkling H2O show such vibrant and smooth hue.

It is hard to see from the picture but every color is shimmering under the light.

The butterfly was created by accident. I have used some scrap paper to do a random test on H2O color. Since I am planning to use butterfly die on this card, I have also tried it out using the back of scrap paper. When I flip over the paper, that's how I discover this beautiful butterfly with H2O colors. Since two is better than one, I have used two butterflies in this case and add two dots of liquid pearls at the center.

The rest is putting everything together^^ I split the floral background in half and insert the phrase in the middle because I don't want to cover up these beautiful vibrant flowers. Lastly adding butterfly and a frame to the card. Voila! The Live Creatively card is here.

Thank you for visiting my blog~ Feel free to leave any comments. ^^
