Spread Love with Color Burst

Giovana Smith is back today with another great card made using Color Burst and the Water Media Paper.

Here Giovana explains how she created this great card.

I started stamping the little heart on a piece of Water Media Paper in Versamark ink and added White embossing powder, then I color the background with Alizarin Crimson and the heart with Fuchsia Color Burst. Then I took a Water Media Bookmark and added Metallic Sky, Yellow Gold and Iron Oxide Liquid Metals, set aside to dry and then stamped the sentiment in Walnut Ink.

'Grace' Card using Color Burst

Creative Team Member Giovana Smith shares with us a card she made using new stamps from Latina Crafter and Color Burst and Liquid Metals. 

Here Giovana gives us the instructions

Grace Card

I started stamping the flower on a piece of paper, cut it out and used it for masking. Then I stamped the flower several times on a piece of Water Media Paper in Versamark Ink and added White Embossing powder, I did the same with the leaves. I colored the flowers with Ultramarine Blue and the leaves with Terra Verte Color Burst , the outside areas was colored with Indigo Color Burst.

I stamped the sentiment and the little butterfly with Turquoise Click It Ink Pad. 

I added a scallop border, twine and rhinestones, finally added the panel to a Ivory card base.
