Putting It Together

One of my favourite mediums is watercolour pencil. It's versatile and easily compactable to carry along with me.

I used Nuvo watercolour pencils to colour the image. In the next Through the Craftroom Door magazine, I will have an article on the techniques I use with watercolour pencils. How I painted this image will be one of the samples.

I added some additional details with a Uniball Signo gel pen and found a die in my stash to fit the image.

I embossed a panel of Neenah Husk paper with a Spellbinders 3-D folder as a background. I also die cut "cheers" from mercury glass gold foiled cardstock and dry fit them all together.

I decided to accent the embossing by using a Clarity brush with Vintage Photo Distress ink. The Clarity brush can be used lightly to add a light colour to just the raised edges.

I then used a blending tool to add a bit of a darker edge on the corners.

I also used the blender to add a small bit of Rusty Hinge to the edge of the image panel.

I used a kraft cardbase and adhered the embossed background and image to it. I stacked the sentiment die on two layers of black to give it a slightly raised dimension.

Inside, I used a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp and a cheese stamp from Hero Arts. I've had that cheese in my stash for more than 2 years and this is the first time I've used it!! I've been looking for the perfect opportunity.
