Hi folks! This week I'm going to be sharing different ways to use my Curvy Background, which is part of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release.
This background can mimic a lot of things - wind, waves, water, woodgrain, etc. For today's cards I'm showing two different ways to 'watercolor with emboss resist.
For this first card, I clear embossed the Curvy Background on watercolor paper. Then I sprayed liberally with three colors of Distress Spray Stain: Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, and Fossilized Amber until I was happy with the color mixing.
I let the panel dry, and then used an almost dry paper towel to rub any excess spray stain from the embossing, trimmed it down, and adhered the panel to my card base.
I finished the card off with the Hello sentiment that comes with the Stromanthe die, cutting the shadow piece from the excess spray stained watercolor paper, as well as a sentiment from the You Got This set that was white embossed and cut with the coordinating dies.
For the second next card, I gold embossed the background on watercolor paper, added water to the panel with my paintbrush, and then used Kuretake Gansai watercolors to color the background.
After trimming it down, the panel was adhered to my card base with foam tape.
For the sentiment, I die cut Be Patient from Matte Gold cardstock, and the shadow piece from the excess background piece that was trimmed off, and I added a secondary sentiment from the Be Patient stamp set, embossed in gold.
I'll see you back here tomorrow for some more Curvy Background inspiration.
