Making pretty backgrounds

I’ve been making backgrounds using some water color pencils and Gelatos for my post today. We have collaborations with two
awesome companies. Faber Castell Design Memory Craft and Finding Nana. And of
course there are some Hero Arts stamps invloved as usual. Lets get to it!

For my first card I used water color pencils in yellow and pink on some water
color paper to make a pretty background. I then stamped the typewriter on top of
the colored paper. Then I colored the typewriter with Copics, since the Copics
won’t react with watercolor and the colors was so light it worked without
problems. The typewriter is small and i made sure to be careful not to damage
the tip of the marker on the rough paper. I stamped the typewiter again on
regular printing paper and also the sentiment and cut out just the sheet of
paper and adhered on top of the watercolored piece. I like the combination of
Watercolors and Copics. And the washi is so cute!

On this card I colored a piece of Vellum with the same watercolor pencils and
made a shaker card out of it. I turned the colored side of the Vellum in so it
won’t smudge and embossed a geeting. I used a sheet of shimmering cardstock as
background, it’s very pretty! And again, that washi tape! Love it!

On my thid card I used Gelatos to make a background. I stamped and embossed
the hello in black and also made some shading with Distress Markers The Speech
Bubble paper clips are from Finding Nana and I think they matched the hellos.

A big thank you to Faber Castell Design Memory Craft and Finding Nana for the great products I got to play with this month!

I also wanted to
remind you there is still time to create for the current challenge, the theme is
Bokeh. There is a geat prize from our generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp.
