Hello! Today I am sharing two versions of a CAS fall-themed design that showcases the #30-601 Golden Delight stamp set from Penny Black’s Autumn Bliss release.
On one card, I heat-embossed the wreath with gold powder.
On the other, I stamped with Versafine ink.
On both cards, I watercolored the leaves with Distress Inks – Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge, and Wild Honey.
I masked the sentiment to stamp the three words separately choosing cardstock colors that coordinated with the Distress Inks I used to watercolor.
A die (#51-589 Golden Delight Cut Out) can be purchased that cuts out the wreath; for these cards, I cut the wreath with a 4″ square die and added the watercolored image to a 4 1/4″ card base. The sentiment strips were added to the center of the wreath with foam adhesive.
What I like about these cards: I like the look of watercolor and the watercoloring on this image was straightforward; I like creating different versions of the same design; even though it took a little longer, I like the idea of breaking up sentiments in the manner I did on these cards; I enjoyed tying the Distress Ink colors I used for the watercoloring with cardstock colors I used for the sentiment strips.
Just love your twofer with that fabulous wreath stamp! Both color schemes look amazing but I think the gold is my fave.
Gorgeous wreath and I am loving the colorful words sentiment.
The colors are perfect for this time of year. Perfect match with your card stock. The gold embossed one is my favorite!
I can’t decide which one I like best. They are both great. Love the color coordinated sentiments.
I loved the one made with black ink. I think it shows better. I am going to order the stamp and cutout. Thanks so much. My kind of card!
