I love this beautiful Happy Pansies set from Mark's Finest Papers. So much fun to watercolor and easy to cut out!
I stamped the image on watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black and heat embossed with clear EP. Has anyone else noticed how Concord Crush exhibits a lovely pinkish undertone when you watercolor with it?
I used the "Outside the Box" technique and also paper toled the top and bottom flowers - the flower front only on the top pansy, and both the whole flower layer and the flower front layer on the bottom flower. The focal image layer is popped up on dimensionals.
Here's a great "Out of the Box" with nestabilities tutorial by Diane Zechman (cookiestamper):
The embossed edges of the Pear Pizzazz layer are sponged with Certainly Celery.
The words are computer generated using the Engravers MT and Edwardian Script fonts. They are cut out with the large oval punch, adhered to the Fancy Tag and popped up on two layers of dimensionals.
This card is 5 x 6 1/4 inches.
