{Spotlight Project} More of Blossom Overture with Deepti!

Hello, friends! Deepti here and welcome to another spotlight feature. Today I am showcasing a fun technique to add more interest to your design! Cutting up the designed panel, I have done this before too (Click HERE to see) and today I will show a tutorial on another design but with the same concept.

So, here's a look at the finished card:

STEP 1

I started out by getting my card base and two panels ready by cutting them to size, a water color panel and a black card stock to go underneath it. I also stamped and cut out the mask of the rose from the Blossom Overture.

STEP 2

I then stamped my first rose in the corner. Then by masking and stamping the image 3 more times, I created the design for my panel. I did a second generation stamping of black ink to keep the outline colors muted.

STEP 3

I colored the roses with some Distress inks for my watercoloring to give the effect of black and white and colored images as you move your eye across the panel.

STEP 4

After coloring the panel, I stamped the sentiment and cut the panel twice into 3 panels. I then adhered each panel on black card stock, leaving a minute distance. I also varied the thickness of the black showing through the panels. I felt that my roses were not as dark as I wanted them to be, so I went over them with another coat of watercolors :)

Here's the finished card once again :)

That finishes my spotlight feature :) I hope you enjoyed it and will give this a try. Happy crafting!
