I received a set of Color Burst watercolor powders by Ken Oliver for my birthday. My first play with them was a really dark ugly mess. So far they've been really hard for me to control the powder.
This time around didn't start out much better either. I would get either too little powder or way too much powder on the paper. I tried squeezing small puffs of powder and tried shaking. My daughter now tells me to tap. So next time I will tap.
I punched hearts from the better pieces,
stamped some words on them, inked the edges then stitched them to my card base. Then added a tiny puffy heart sticker to each heart.
The stitches on the left are a rubber stamp. I love this stamp set that includes a variety of stitches.
I used two different sentiment stamps on the inside of the card.
My parents will be married 68 years come June 5th.
They're powder? o.O I wouldn't know how to use 'em either lol
ReplyDeleteYour card came out pretty tho! And 68 years- wow :) <3
Happy Birthday Annie! Happy anniversary to your parents too wow! I have never seen those powders before, but your hearts and card look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour card certainly turned out beautifully Annie!

I can see that these tubes/tubs could be difficult to control. They don't look as if they have a good delivery mechanism. Having said that, I very much like what you have done, even made a subtle background for your card. I wonder how you did that. I love these brightly coloured cut-out hearts and they are even better once you have given them the Annie-stamp treatment. A stamp that stamps stitches? who'd have guessed it. Love the little added hearts too.
ReplyDeleteHappy 68th to your parents.
I think you did an excellent job with the product! The tiny hearts added are precious. Wishing your parents all the best on their anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI've not got those ones but I have brushos and Infusions which are very similar....at one stage I was banned from using brushos as I made so much mess everywhere!! Yes less is definitely more Annie!! Love your gorgeous card and a happy anniversary to your parents too :)

I'm obviously very late for your birthday, but I hope you had a wonderful celebration and enjoyed your powders. I love that heart card!
ReplyDeleteYou may have struggled with the CB powders but your end results are very pretty. May I please have the name of the stitched stamp set?
