Mission Gold Watercolored Books Video

Good morning everyone! I made this card a while ago and thought it was time to share it with you all today! I am absolutely in love with the Mission Gold Watercolors. Remember me telling you about them here? Well. these are the only watercolors I use at the moment! The absolute best price I have found on these babies is HERE! I paired the watercolored with the Haute Books stamp set from The Ton Stamps. I’ve got a video to go along with this card. You can watch it here on my blog or over on my youtube channel in HD by clicking HERE!

Any time I do watercoloring, I always heat emboss my stamped images. I want the lines of the image to remain crisp and sharp and the heat embossing resists the watercolor. Instead of stamping with a crisp black ink, I decided I wanted a subtle gray – enter Smokey Gray. And since it’s a pigment ink, it stays wet longer so I sprinkled on some clear embossing powder and zapped it with my heat tool

I did add a clear brush of glitter over the flowers and water using the Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay pen. The sentiment is from the Haute Stacks stamp set. I heat embossed that too because I love the look of a bright white against the black base!!!! I stamped the sentiment with The Ton’s Hampton white pigment ink, sprinkled on some super fine white embossing powder (I think super fine is key with sentiments) and heat set!
