I decided to use the Happy Flowers Set 840. I really love this little set with the fun sentiments and the pretty flowers. This time I chose to do my flowers in a row and use the embossing resist technique. Hope you enjoy my share today.
I began by embossing the sentiment in Versamark and heat setting in Black Detail, the flower image was then stamped to the left and right of the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed this time with White Detail.
After the image and sentiment were heat set, I stamped two of my new inks, Oxide Distress: Peeled Paint and Broken China, onto my craft sheet and then with a water brush, simply brushed the "paint" over the top of the embossing, which resisted the inks perfectly.
Next I started to "paint" with my new Aqua Flow Markers. I used Soft Rose, Fresh Green (Spring Meadow collection) and Aqua Splash (Summer Holiday Collection) and a little Evergreen Fern (Autumn Woodland Collection) to go over the top of the Distress Inks. The markers painted beautifully. They have a very pointed tip that allows you to get in to the tiniest spaces.
I went over the flowers a couple of times, until I was happy with the coverage. Using the Nuvo Fine Tip Glue Pen I applied Cyclamen (G1090) and Spirited Green (G1070) to the flowers and the leaves.
A lovely sparkly effect. Along with the new Aqua Flow Markers, I also used the new Nuvo Glow Drops. I added Banana Split to the centers of the flowers, some Apple Sour to the Grass and then Blue Crush to the sky.
Here (the card on the bottom) is how it looks without the light on it:
... and here it is in the darkness:
I'll be using these Glow Drops in my next two cards coming up this month. Here is a list of the products that you can purchase over on the SNS website.

How fun! Love the glow in the dark aspect and the background you created with the Oxides looks amazing. I now NEED some of those Aqua Flow markers too. Your flowers look amazing colored with these.
ReplyDeleteHi there, Shona!

Hi, Shona! I love that you started off with the pretty sentiment, and then landscaped using the white embossing powder - I've never done that before, and it is a wonderful design technique! I sense a phone call waiting to ask you personally all about the new markers - such splendid colors, and a marvelously happy "feel" they create!
ReplyDeleteI just got my new oxide pads and reinkers, and have only used them once so far. They blend so well. I had not considered using them with a water brush, and creating textures of a skyline and grassy area with them. They look fabulous!
Two cards! Both are fantastic! I love the glow drops, but I like the ribboned card as well. Beautiful creations, Miss Shona! thank you for another great "class" right on your blog! xo
EEK! I love both of these cards. The glow in the dark one is totally fun! I can't wait to play more with these cool drops. Awesome inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!!! Love the reverse embossing on your card. So very lovely.
ReplyDeleteI learn so much from you! You inspire me ... all your creations are fabulous. These two cards are incredible. I love how you "painted" with oxide inks over the white embossing powdered flowers. I love the resist technique, but you have ratcheted it up a notch!!! LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteShona, this is a gorgeous card. I love my new Oxides too. Love how you used yours on your card. Those Aqua Flow markers sure look great on your flowers. Thanks for the tutorial.
