Watercolor Morning Glories -The Ton

Hi everyone!   Last Friday I posted some cards along with the blog hop list for The Ton's 2017 Anniversary Release Blog Hop.  Well today I've been watercoloring  and I just wanted to share a couple more cards with you, using this gorgeous Morning Glory Border Cling Background stamp.  What a fun stamp to watercolor!

First I stamped and embossed the image with white embossing powder on Canson 140 lb watercolor paper.  Then, using Zig Kuretake real brush watercolor markers I added color to the inside edges of the flowers and leaves.  I spritzed with water and watched the magic as the ink blended together.  After the flowers dried I added a line of blue all along the around the outside edges of the flowers and leaves.  Then again, I lightly spritzed with water to watch it blend out.  This whole technique was super easy and results in bright, gorgeous colored florals.

After the water coloring was completely dry I embossed the sentiment in black and then embossed over the top of the sentiment with clear embossing powder.  This next card I did the same way using different shades of water color.  I also used silver embossing powder instead of white which gives it softer, more elegant look.

Since my friends like to display their cards I thought I would try adding a sheet of magnetic paper to the inside of the front of the card.

This way they can take their card out of the envelope and pop it right up on their refrigerator for a little dose of encouragement every day.
