Good Morning.
Happy that I had time to play with this wonderful stamp called Red Delight by Penny Black.
I began by masking my card front then placed the stamp into my Misti, coloured directly on the stamp with my Tombow markers, sprayed with water and pressed onto the paper. I repeated that process until I was happy with the colours and shading.
I clear heat embossed the image next as I wanted to watercolour in the background.
I stamped the sentiment from the PB sentiment set called Yuletide Wishes and also clear heat embossed that.
I used some Peeled Paint Distress ink to watercolour in the background by pressing the pad directly onto my non-stick craft sheet and picking up the ink with a wet paintbrush.
To finish off my card, I splattered some of the green ink left on my mat and some diluted white acrylic paint all over my card front.
I removed the masking tape and mounted the piece onto a dark red cardstock.
Thanks so very much for coming by to take a look.
I truly appreciate you for visiting.

Beautifully coloured - I love the watercolour look you got with your Tombows and spritzing. And isn't that the best technique - heat embossing after colouring the image so that you can easily add a background wash! I'm using it more and more.
Forgot to add - thanks so much for joining us at CAS Watercolour!
Gorgeous Karen, I just got this stamp and now will need to follow your instructions. Wonderful watercolouring with your Tombows.

This is such a beautiful poinsettia, Karen. I have to remember to clear heat emboss when I do this technique. You make such lovely backgrounds doing that.
Beautiful card - awesome stamping!
Thanks for playing at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge!
