Stamping with Jen Ornate Gardens meets Pigment Sprinkles

Where is the time going? You would think with working from home and staying home 24/7 that the days would drag on. But thank goodness for stamping!! I feel like time is just flying by. Before I know it, we will be out of this pandemic and hopefully life will return somewhat to normal. But until then, I might as well enjoy more time in the craft room :)

So, I decided to try watercoloring with the Pigment Sprinkles. If you have never used these, they are very concentrated watercolor crystals, just add water and magic!! I normally sprinkle them on a background and spritz with water, but today I decided to try doing water colour painting with them. I have to tell you, it was much easier than I thought it would be!!! What do you think?

To make this card, I stamped the large floral image from the Ornate style stamp set using Versamark on watercolor paper and then heat embossed using white embossing powder. Isn't this stamp set gorgeous?

Then using a large stamp block, I sprinkled the Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody and Melon Mambo in separate areas. Added water with my aqua painter and just painted the flowers and leaves. Let it dry, then cut it out...simple :).

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape and the flower in Staz On. I then coloured the flower with the pigment ink.

The basic recipe:

- Highland Heather card stock measuring 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
- Whisper white inside 4 X 5 1/4
- Ornate layer die cut in whisper white cardstock
- Large floral image stamped in versamark on watercolor paper.
