With the Helping Me Grow set and Watercolor Paper you, too, can create this stunning card. The Basic Gray Archival Stampin’ Pad is the perfect ink to use with the Watercolor method of coloring. It does Not Bleed when using water based inks! I used the ink pads with an Aqua Painter to add color to the image.
A few embellishments on this card include the Silver Metallic Thread, Venetian Crochet Trim and either Seam Binding Ribbon or Satin Ribbon. To create the pleated ribbon is very easy. Use about 2″ of the Tear & Tape adhesive. Start on the left side with about 1/2″ of your ribbon on the adhesive, then fold your ribbon back, press lightly onto your adhesive, fold your ribbon back, repeat… until you get the number of pleats that fit into your space.
Pairing the Very Vanilla cardstock with the Vanilla color Watercolor Paper gives this card such an elegant look. The top card is 3″ x 4.5″. I used a generous amount of Stampin’ Dimensionals to give my top card a pop and also to fit nicely over the pleated ribbon.
The last detail I added to this card was with our Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I used it on the flowers and even on the saying for the wedding card. It is so easy to use and with a fine tip, it’s easy to control the area that you want to cover.
