Hello friends! I am in love with Altenew’s Cascading Vines Press Plate. It is also available as a Bundle to include a layering stencil set. But today, I am abandoning the stencils to do some quick and easy water colouring!
Cascading Vines Press Plate was stamped using the BetterPress Letterpress System onto a heavy weight water colour paper. The leaves were inked in a gradient using BetterPress ink Cosmic Sky, Teal Topaz and Cruise.
The leaves were water coloured with ink from Sweet Dream Fresh Dye Ink Bundle; Desert Night, Ocean Waves, Sea Glass. The ink pad was pressed onto a Water Palette and the colour picked up with a water colour brush.
When colouring, the inks were corresponded to the tone the leaves were stamped with.
The sentiment die is from the White Cap Peonies Add-On. I really liked the delicate, scripty font. The same inks used to stamp the image were used to colour card stock in a gradient. I just dragged the edge of the ink pad on the paper overlapping each colour.
The die was used to cut both the gradient, card stock and white sheet foam. The sentiment was stacked.
The panel was trend to 4 x 5 1/4“ and mount it on a black matted, A2 sized card base.
The card was embellished with crystals from Deep Sea Sapphire Gem Sparkles.
