Growing in Unity Day 3

Good morning!  Thanks for coming back to check out day 3 of my blog!

This card was made with stamps from the June 2014 and August 2014 KOM.  The image was stamped onto watercolor paper using Versamark.  Clear embossing powder was added.  Once it was heat set, I used Faber Castell gelatos to make the background.  Using a baby wipe, I removed some of the color and blended the colors together.  Once it had dried completely, I stamped the sentiment in black.  

life fails to be perfect but never fails to be beautiful



Thanks for stopping by!

    I love the watercolor paper - very pretty!. I've seen a few cards done with a heat embosser and embossing powder and making me want to ask "Santa" for both for Christmas. Very cool effect for card making.

    So pretty. I haven't tried the baby wipes with the gelatos yet, this inspires me to do so. I really like the colors also
