Reinker Watercoloring

Hello Stamplings!

And squeeeeeee, the roller coaster called September is braking to a finish! Grab your knickers and prepare to disbark! As you get a hold of yourself, I'll show you the cards I made for the September Group of Seven Cardmakers.

Onefer 

This month we used reinkers to paint random colors onto watercolor paper. Once dry, the panel is embossed with either a regular or 3D embossing folder. That's cool enough at that point, but to make the embossed image really pop, black ink is swiped liberally over the debossed side of the e/f and the panel is re-inserted into the folder and run through. When you open the folder, the black ink is transferred to the panel. 

The 3D folder I used is from SSS called, "Floral Harmony." I thought a border was needed so Hammy smooshed a die-cut frame into the same reinker colors. I didn't apply a die-cut sediment because, ahem, I just plumb forgot! 

Challenges

• Beautiful Blossoms: A/G with optional mood board.
  
• Can You Handle the Pressure?: A/G with optional twist of bees/beehive.
  
• SSS Wednesday: A/G.

Twofer

I used a Park Lane (Joanne's) regular embossing folder for this card and the finished panel is adhered to a red card base. The sediment is from a poppystamps die called, "Festive Noel."

Challenges

• Addicted to Stamps and More!: Die-cuts and/or stencils.
  
• Rudolph Days: Anything Christmas goes.
  
• SSS Monday: Christmas.
