Watercolor Background and Embossing Powder Painting

Hello and Welcome to My Studio!

As my name is Artsystamper,  I do have a tendency to get pretty artsy with my cards sometimes.

This is an example of that. The vivid colors in the background just burst with the addition of embossing powder painting.

I used Aqua Flow Markers by Nuvo to do the first layer of colors, after I stamped with Versamark ink and a gorgeous stamp set called, Lovely Magnolia. I then "painted" with Stampendous embossing ink. I poured Amethyst, Red Apple, Venus Violet, and Antiquities Embossing Powders by Sparkle N Sprinkle, and heat set them one color at a time.

I sponged the edges of the card with Versafine Clair ink, using a Jumbo Dauber. I also inked the edges of the torn vellum layer with the ink. 

In the video I also show how to create the sentiment, using the Aqua Flow Markers to create a watercolor background that I cut with the "love" die, by Tonic Studios.

All of the products mentioned are available in the Sparkle N Sprinkle store.

Paint Some Sparkle with Embossing Powder!

Hi and Welcome to my studio!

This is the second card in my, "How to Paint with Embossing Powder" series.

I used Sparkle N Sprinkle Embossing Powders and Glitters, along with dimensional glue and embossing ink to paint.

Have fun,

Check out my new YouTube Channel!

Just getting my proverbial feet wet at this point, and really enjoying it.

I have had some people asking about the program I use, and how to work with digital stamps.

So here is my first video about that. I just couldn't contain my excitement about actually getting on YouTube. I already do videos for Sparkle N Sprinkle, but never uploaded videos to YouTube myself, so there is a bit of a learning curve.

America Proud

Welcome to my studio!

As I created this card, I felt my patriotism rising to the top of my heart.

Kinda like the first time I went to Gettysburg...I felt this deep response to our American Heritage.

What is happening now is history in the making. Our troops and veterans need to be appreciated for all they do to keep us safe.

I am America Proud.

This card is the first one in my video series on YouTube called, "How to Paint with Embossing Powder." 

I used Sparkle N Sprinkle Embossing Powders and Glitters, along with dimensional glue to paint.
