Honey Bee Stamps & WOW Blog Hop

** For The Ton Summer Blog Hop please scroll down or click HERE**



Hi peeps, welcome to a very special Blog Hop collaboration with the WOW! Embossing Powder & Honeybee Stamps.

The best part of having a blog hop is meeting, sharing and inspiring one another in this beautiful crafting community. We feel so blessed to have our path’s cross with each other and we all hope this collaboration inspires everyone.

If you are hopping along, you should have come from Rosali Bartz blog. If you get lost along the way, head back over to the Honeybee Stamps / WOW! Embossing Powder blog for the complete list of designers joining in the hop. 

There's quite a few blog for you to visit, so let's get on with it, shall we. Here's the card I created for this hop.




To start I stamped the image from Honey Bee Zen Bouquet on a piece of watercolor cardstock and heat embossed it with WOW! Rose Gold embossing powder. So, pretty, right? What can I say, I love working with this set and that rose gold is such a beautiful color. 



Once I heat embossed the image, then I watercolor the image. I find this process very therapeutic. I just went to town with all my favorite color and am pretty happy with the way this turned out. Once it dry, I trim the edge with an oval cutter (you could also use a curve dies) and adhere the panel to the card base. 




For the sentiment, I used Love Bug set on a strip of vellum and heat embossed it with WOW! Super Fine White embossing powder (seriously this is my favorite white embossing powder). Trim the vellum and adhere it to the card. Tip: to adhere the vellum, I place the liquid glue behind the letters, so it didn't show to the front of the vellum. Finish by adding some Wedding Ring Rhinestones (I also place one of the rhinestone on the border of the vellum and the card, to help hold the vellum down). 

So, what do you think? I hope you like it as much as I enjoy making this card. :)

So pretty with the rose gold embossing and your coloring.

Unknown said...

Vera, I love the fact that you heat embossed with white embossing powder and then enjoyed water colouring the image. But I would have been quite nervous cutting the curve after all that beautiful work my preference would have been to cut that before I had started painting. But you are braver than me and a better designer too. x

nice

Karen @ Misplaced Mojo said...

IMHO, Rose Gold is *the* perfect color for EP when watercoloring. It just warms it up and adds elegance without distracting from the image or the painting itself. Gold can be garish, silver can be cold, and copper can be distracting. I even find white distracting if an image has many lines like this one. The was perfect!!!

Shanna said...

I love all of the new ideas!

Bonnie T. said...

Beautiful bouquet of flowers

Dee said...

WOW! What a gorgeous use of the embossing powder!
