Wonderful Color Bursts!

Happy Friday, everyone! Nancy E here once again to share a colourful card I created using a great stamp and die set from Concord & 9th as well as the wonderful Ken Oliver Color Bursts pigment powders.

I have to admit that I bought these pigment powders MONTHS ago, played with them once, and put them away in a drawer. I decided to play with them again this past weekend while my husband and one son were watching Game of Thrones.

I started out by covering my watercolour paper with some anti static powder and placing it in my stamp positioning tool.  I then stamped the big stamp from the Concord & 9th Wonderful Floralsset in Versamark ink 3 times to ensure I had good coverage and then I embossed it with white embossing powder.

I pulled out my non-stick craft mat to protect my surface and used a red, blue and yellow Color Burst and “salted” the colours all over the stamped piece.  I then used a fine mist sprayer and spritzed water all over the watercolour paper, watching the colours bloom and grow.  It’s truly an amazing sight to see!

Once I had good water coverage, I dabbed off the excess with a paper towel.  I then set the panel aside to dry and made a few more using different colours.  I was looking at the panels and the clean and simple part of me felt that the use of colour was way too overwhelming so I used the Concord & 9th matching die to cut out the image.

For the one card, I used the Wonderful word die to cut out some black letters to layer on top of the watercolour panel and added some Nuvo Shimmer Pen to create some shine.  For the other I stamped the word “friend” from the same Concord & 9th stamp set on kraft cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder before creating a flag-ended tag that I put on top with foam dots.  I also added some white dots and splotches to the kraft card to create a little more visual interest.

I created three backgrounds and two cards… and if you’d like to see more photos, please head on over to my blog, Nancys Creative Mess.
