Desiring a Crumb Cake background for the flowers heart led me to combine the emboss resist and watercoloring techniques for my Stampin’ Up! Heart Happiness card. Watch to see how these two techniques work together for vibrant colored flowers.
The emboss resist technique and watercoloring are two of my favorite techniques. Until now, I don’t recall every combining the two but sure am pleased by the results for my Heart Happiness card.
Hand stamped Valentine’s Day cards are the first thing we all probably think of when we see heart stamps. Yet, this card would also make for a hand made anniverary, thinking of you. birthday or wedding card.
