Welcome to a new week on my blog. I’m looking at Retiring 2017 – 2019 In Colors this week. I have a coffee card today called Berry Burst Thanks A Latte. Thanks for spending time with me, I really appreciate it.
Well, what a fantastic week I’ve had in Auckland, New Zealand attending Stampin’ Up! OnStage and spending a few extra days with friends and exploring. My flight home arrives tonight and whilst it’s lovely to go away, you do appreciate your home comforts, don’t you?
Berry Burst Thanks A Latte
Use:
- Coffee Café Photopolymer Stamp Set
- Coffee Cups Framelits Dies
- Berry Burst 3/8″ (1 Cm) Mini Ruffled Ribbon
Cut a piece of Watercolor Paper to 14.4 cm x 10 cm or 5 1/4″ x 4″.
Tip: Watercolor Paper has a right and wrong side. Feel it and the smoother side is the right side.
Wipe over the right side of your Watercolor Paper with an Embossing Buddy to remove static and oil from your fingers. Stamp with Versamark Pad using the sentiment image from Coffee Café Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped it 3 times. Sprinkle over your stamping with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and then heat set with your Heat Tool.
Tip: Always have some copy paper under your work when sprinkling with embossing powder. It will catch any excess and makes tipping this excess back into your container easy.
Colour Wash Technique
- Emboss the Watercolor Paper with the White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (as above)
- Use one of the Aqua Painters and Berry Burst Classic Stampin’ Pad to make up a watery wash
- Wipe over the Watercolor Paper in a diagonal fashion, reloading the Aqua Painter with colour as needed.
Tip: If you can’t squeeze ink into the lid of the Berry Burst Classic Stampin’ Pad. Use one of your acrylic blocks and dab it on the pad of the Berry Burst Classic Stampin’ Pad, then use it as a palette.
When the Watercolor Paper is dry, use the Berry Burst Classic Stampin’ Pad to stamp the heart images from the Coffee Café Photopolymer Stamp Set.
