Customised Card with Pink Floral Themed & Watercolour Background

I've got on to the watercolour craze for some time although I won't say I am a fully fledged one. I just try to integrate watercolouring into my designs and I think I've mentioned this many times in my previous posts that I used it to create some soft colours in the background. However, I created the soft pink shade in the background by watercolouring an A5 sized watercolour paper. I loved it. I had also found out another way to spruce up the background using embossing powder but that's another experiment and story for another day.

What I used for this card instead was using light modelling paste and a stencil to enhance the watercolour backgroundd. On top of the paste, I added glitter so they actually sparkled, although I should have used another type of glitter instead that will probably stay put better.

Speaking of embossing, I also embossed a stamped image of a chandelier. You know, if I were to have my own house, there is definitely going to be a chandelier because it's so elegant! I noticed that many shops tend to have at  least one chandelier as part of their lightings. Such a main centre of attraction.

I had it embossed in gold because light pink or blush with gold are stunning together. The rest is simply a collage of fussy cut flowers from Webster's Pages and the flowers from the patterned paper I cut from is one of my favourites coz it's pink, lol!

I know try to keep to a routine where I would go 'shopping' for supplies to use and cut out the things I needed from patterned papers. Then based on a sketch, or just purely instinct, I would try to form a pleasing looking collage. Some people can just work with multiple products, layer them together and look like magic. Unfortunately, I don't have that touch yet, haha.
