More Metallic Colours on Black

Here's another of my final results of painting with metallic watercolours on black watercolour paper.

Like the earlier one, the image and sentiment are heat embossed in gold on black watercolour paper and then painted with Twinkling H2Os.  I splattered with watered down gold and white acrylic paint, bordered in gold shimmer cs, and mounted on a white card base.

Christmas Colours on Black

At a recent crafty zoom get together, we used metallic watercolours to paint images on black watercolour paper.  I loved it and have since continued to use the technique. 

I used the colours of the newest Color Throwdown - red, black, green, and gold.

I heat embossed the image with gold embossing powder on black watercolour paper, then coloured with my Twinkling H2Os.    I added some gold splatter but decided it also needed a some white splatter to lighten it up a bit.  I trimmed the panel, popped it up on fun foam on a gold card base, and added a Tim Holtz stick-on sentiment.

White Embossed Flowers

I have a huge stash of decorative papers but I would so much rather make interesting backgrounds myself than try to use up that dp!  Here's a card using a background that I learned from this video.

I used blue and green watercolour paints on black cs, just dabbing them on randomly, spritzed with a bit of water to get them to flow more, and dried. I splattered a little bit of the paint and dried again.

Then stamped the grid / text stamp over it just in white ink. When the ink was dry, I put it in my MISTI and stamped and heat embossed the flowers in white. It's a good example of how much more vibrant heat embossing with white embossing powder makes the white ink than just stamping it without heat embossing.  I trimmed the panel down and mounted it on fun foam.

I die cut the sentiment out of the leftover bit of background. When I glued it on, I didn't get it as centred as I wanted so punched three tiny dots and added them after the sentiment. They will lead into what I write on the inside.

I'm adding this card to The Flower Challenge "Embossing Heat or Dry".
