This card is for Heidi's Wet n Wild Challenge. https://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&forum_id=22&thread_id=3272497. [twopeasinabucket.com] This was a fun challenge, Heidi. Thank you.See below for details about Scans 5 & 6 (added 2/15/14).CARD:4 1/4“ x 5 1/2”Base–Stampin' Up cardstockMAT:140-lb. hot press watercolor paperRanger's Color Wash SprayHot GlueThe last time I was using hot glue, I decided to swirl some around on a piece of watercolor paper and try a resist. I sprayed with the Color Wash sprays (remember those?) and then pulled away the glue. The glue tore the paper in places, but I liked the look. I wish I'd used a distress tool to rough up the edges of the mat. I wonder if it's too late. Hmmm. Wait. I'll be right back. OK. I used Un-du to disassemble my card and I distressed the edges. I also found a better color for the card base. What do you think? The original card is in the fourth scan.FOCAL IMAGE:Hero Arts (two stamps–blossom; stem & leaves; set unknown–They were a RAK of mixed stamps from Hero Arts)Distress Inks (Dried Marigold, Tattered Rose, Picked Raspberry, Shabby Shutters, and Peeled Paint)Beads from an old necklace (center of flower)Rangers Inkssentials Matte Accents (to attach the beads)Best Creation 3D Foam Tape (to attach the flower) I ended up doing this technique on hot-press watercolor paper, and what I thought was regular cardstock but later decided must have been the Bristol Vellum that I usually use with colored pencils. I just grabbed it out of the scrap drawer and didn't pay attention.Other participants had mentioned that watercolor paper absorbed the water too quickly so I used lots of water and ended up with way too much bleeding of the image. That's the one I ended up using on the card, but I used a different color for the over-stamping and had to cut out the image. (I was curious to see if the 140-lb. hot-press watercolor paper would work better than the more readily available cold-press watercolor paper.)The second scan shows the flower stamped on the same watercolor paper, but I used less water and got a more refined image. I think I'll over-stamp this one with a darker color the way I did on the other flower.The third scan shows the flower stamped on the Bristol Vellum. The paper was quite wet, but it absorbed most of the water quickly. I got the most detailed image on this paper.The fourth scan shows the original card before I took it apart so I could distress the edges.ETA:I made cards using the flowers in Scans 2 (140-lb. hot-press watercolor paper) and 3 (bristol vellum). Below are the differences from the card described above.
