FM153 Watercoloring with Hello Undefined

This week at Friday Mashup Sara has a great color combination and challenge for us. 

Here's this weeks challenge:
1. Create a project using Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi and Perfect Plum
2. Create a project using an Aqua Painter or a Blender Pen to create a water-colour effect
3. Create a project using the colors above and create a water-colour effect

Here is the second card I made for Sara's challenge. I will share with you my first card within the next week but I was much happier with this card.

I finally got around to using the stamp I carved with Stampin' Up's undefined stamp carving kit.

I took the Hello from MDS and printed it in the size I wanted my stamp. From there I traced it onto Velum with pencil and then rubbed it onto the rubber and carved the stamp. Words are harder to carve but I love how it turned out.

To get the Hello to stand out, first I stamped the hello onto my water color paper in Versa Mark. Then I embossed the hello with clear embossing power. Then I used my Aqua painter to create the streaks across the page. 

Something really popular these days are the little enamel dots. They are fairly expensive and Stampin' Up doesn't sell them. So, I decided to make my own version. I punched out  circles in various sizes. Next I used my silicon craft sheet and applied crystal effects on the circles. Once the crystal effects dried they are a very cute, simple and cheap embellishment.
