Hi crafty friends, Let me just say that I will using these new Water Gems on all of my cards. LOL. They are SO fun to use! I decided to make three backgrounds. You guys will absolutely LOVE these. Let’s get started!
For all of the cards I used the Fireworks Embossing Folder, It’s A Celebrations stamp and die and Caribbean, Flamingo and Citrine Water Gems Sparkling Watercolors.
On a piece of A2 size watercolor cardstock, I spritzed it with a little bit of water, then sprinkled on the Water Gems powder, using all three colors. Then I gently spritzed the background again. This gave it a fun speckled look. I let that dry completley before dry embossing it. Then I added the sentiment and sequins.
I think this background is my favorite. I spritzed the background with a lot of water. I held it upright and sprinkled the Water Gems powder on the top (now the top is at the bottom of the card) then I spritzed it with a lot more water, it began to run down the cardstock and mix together. I repeated the same steps above to finish the card.
This background started with dry watercolor cardstock, I sprinkled on the Water gems, in different spots on the cardstock. Then I spritzed it with a decent amount of water. It moved the Water Gems around and mixed some of the colors, it also left the some of the colors in place. This background is so fun. Once again I waited for it to dry, embossed it with the folder and added the sentiment.
Hope you liked these projects. Have a wonderful day!
