White Swan Echinacea

Hello Crafty Friends!  Today's card is a Sweet and Simple card with an Autumn theme using the new Paint-A-Flower for September from Altenew.  It's the White Swan Echinacea Outline Stamp Set.


For the Autumn theme, I thought yellow and orange would be a good color choice.  I started by heat embossing the image with fine detail gold power onto Canson Watercolor paper.  This gives the card some shine without adding other sparkly bells and whistles.

I then used my Gansai Tambi watercolors to paint the floral image and add a yellow background.  To used a piece of kitchen paper towel to blot some of the background, which have it some texture.


I matted the focal panel with brown card, splattered with Gansai Tambi Metallic Gold watercolor paint and adhered all to a cardbase of Neenah Solar White 110 lb. cardstock.

It's a sweet and simple design and a quick make.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
