Watercolor Explosion Card ~ ICR Watercolor Blog Hop ♥

       Good evening friends!! 


       It has been a long time since I updated my blog, got busy with my studies, health issues & some commissioned works. And then saw this ICR Watercolor Blog Hop & couldn't resist myself from creating a card 


       First of all, wonderful inspirations from the DT. Beautiful & subtle backgrounds, shadings using watercolors, highlights & texture ~ awesome works. Do check out their blogs for inspiration 
       Let's go back to my card!!



       For this card I used a 4x4 inch front panel with an explosive interior!! Used Ranger black embossing powder to stamp the images. Then used Distress ink & Memento ink to watercolor the images, trying to create some shading. Finally added some white highlights with Uniball signo white pen & added an outline using the same.



       The interior of the card is purple colored card stock, sponged with distress ink. Added sentiments from various stamp sets & used KaiserCraft triangles for the background 



With a matching envelope 


Few more shots to show the white highlights & clear embossing on the sentiment
