Hello Crafters!
I hope you have had a wonderful weekend because I sure did.
I had a four day weekend which I spent lake side with no responsibility.
Ahhh.
I did create some cards before I left including the one I'm sharing tonight.
It's quick and easy but bright and pretty.
I always love to stretch my stamps so I pulled out my Mother's Day to set to see how else I could use it. However, I didn't really want to spend hours coloring. Whenever this happens to me watercolor always saves the day.
Zig Clean Color Markers are fast and super intense. Which is perfect for me. I love the way watercolors work together to blend colors that I can't accomplish with my copics.
I just scribbled the color directly onto the paper after heat embossing my images and let the water do the work. Honestly, that's the hardest part. The leaving it alone. Most watercolors are ugly until they're dry. Quit playing with them haha.
After the watercolor was done and dry I spattered on some perfect pearls for some shine.
A little bit of die cutting later and the card was done sentiment included.
Oh I did and some more clear glitter to my sentiment and accented it with a few enamel dots.
You can watch the whole thing in the video below.
I told you guys it was really fast! I can't get over how bright and beautiful the colors are.
Eeep bright colors make me happy!
Here's a close up of that perfect pearls shine I always go on about. It's the perfect shiny neutral to go with everything!
Thanks so much for dropping in!
I'll be back this week with some more videos for you :)

Love the colours of Zigs that you used. I love bright colours too and this looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat color combos, Kelly--like the bright look. Thanks for sharing the card and video--learned a lot from the latter, especially noting the little details that finished your card.
ReplyDeleteGreat that you had a wonderful long weekend. I saw your great photos on Instagram stories.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous. I have the Zig markers and use them more as a marker than water colour with them. I think I have to give that more a try because this is great.
Thank you so much for showing and have a great week.
Very beautiful!
