Joy Clair - Be Brave

Hello everyone!

The February release with Joy Clair is amazing!  I am showcasing the new stamp set called "Be Brave". Have you noticed a theme in this release this month?  It's all about being yourself, being free and being strong.  What have you gotten out of this release?   This months theme is watercoloring, I love the technique of emboss resist.

Here is my card:

Here is how I put my card together:

1.   A2 card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2,
2. . I used Ranger Watercolor paper (I always use the smooth side of the paper), I die cut     the paper with a stitched die to give it some dimension,
3.  I  used the feather from the "Be Brave" stamp set, I stamped it with versamark and  then applied white embossing powder to the stamped image,
4.  I then heat embossed the image,
5.  I let the image cool,
6. Then I applied some blue watercolor paint directly on and around my embossed  image,
7.  I stamped my sentiment with Archival Black ink using my Misti so it would be exactly  where I wanted it,
8.  I finished my card by adding some foam dots.

Hello everyone!

I am showcasing the new set by Joy Clair "Wild and Free".  This is a wonderful set to own....there are lots of images and sentiments in the set.  The theme this month is "watercoloring".  I have used the "color burst" by Ken Oliver to get the water-color effect on my background.  I am new at using the color burst,  but  I love the look, I'll have to keep practicing and look at youtube to master using these.

Here is my card:

Here is how I put my card together:

1.   A2 card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2,

2.  I used Ranger Watercolor paper, I sprayed it with water and then added a few different colors of Color Burst Colors,

3.  I let the paper dry and then sprayed some Heidi Swapp Silver Shine on the paper and sprayed some water to get the water spots on the paper.  Here is how the paper looked after it dried,

4.  I cut the watercolor paper down to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and used my Misti to stamp the mountains side by side,

5.  I then placed the square die in the center of my card, so some of the mountains would be cut out and where I wanted my sentiment to be,

6.  I stamped the sentiment, 

7.  I die cut the sentiment,

8.  Layered the square piece with purple cardstock and used foam tape to pop it up.
