Today I have a card for AAA Cards CAS Game #114 - Tic Tac Toe. I chose the left vertical row, gold, water colors and flowers from the board of design choices to make a spotlight coloring friendship card.
I used Versmark and Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder, on Canson Cold Press watercolor paper, to heat emboss both the flower and the sentiment. It's a soft gold that I think is really pretty.
The flower is from the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Peony set. A MFT heart shaped die and pencil were used to lightly trace the heart on the heat embossed flower. Just two Zig markers, a pink and a yellow, and lots of water were used to water color the heart. The pencil marks were easily erased after the paper was completely dry. The sentiment stamp is from the Essentials by Ellen Fancy Thanks set.
The finished panel was mounted on a Lux White fold over note card from Paper Source. It matches the water color paper perfectly in texture and color. A strip of washi tape finished the card.
The Instagram Crafty Crew easy challenge for May is spotlight coloring, so I made this card for both. I didn't find the spotlight coloring difficult, but I had a hard time coming up with a card using that method that I liked. I finally decided to move away from a circle spotlight and came up with this, my fourth attempt to create a card I liked!
