Heat Embossed Watercolor With Gina K. Designs

Welcome to my Creative Mess! :) 

Today I am sharing a card project where I'll share with you some heat embossing 

and some watercoloring. I'll be using the New Stamp Set Tropical Blooms 

from the Stamp Tv Kit - Hearts & Flowers. 

I picked Gina K. Designs Dye Inks to Watercolor with! 

It is fun to grab some of your favorite colors to use as watercolors.

Here is the Video for this card project. I also stamp the inside and back side! 

 I hope you enjoy the video! 

This card project was fun to create, and

 I hope you will try watercoloring with your Dye Inks!

First up I am sharing my cards made with 
You have My Heart stamp set from the New 
Stamp Tv Kit - Hearts & Flowers 

I wanted to show the inside, several of you have asked. So, on this one I did a Red Velvet Layer and stamped that big beautiful heart in Versa Fine so it would show, but softly.  Added a layer of White Layering Weight stamped the same Heart in Red Velvet  to match the Cardstock. There is plenty of room to write a sweet message! <3
