Staedtler and Stampendous DT's Sweet Summer Blog Hop - Daisy

Welcome to the STAEDTLER and Stampendous Design Teams combined hop! This is my second post for the hop this week, if you missed my previous hop post, be sure to click here, to see my project.  Along with the projects shared by the STAEDTLER designers, each designer is giving away a Sweet Summer prize package!  Stampendous will be giving away a prize every day!  Don't forget, that Stampendous is also giving a way a prize package, to one person who comments on the participating designers blogs each day.

I created another Mixed Media canvas piece using both companies products.  I placed the mask from the Jumbo Daisy onto my canvas, then colored the Daisy using STAEDTLER Watercolor Crayons.  I repeated this process with all three colored daisies, then embossed the flowers using the Encrusted Jewel Teal and Encrusted Jewel Bronze Kits.  To add color to the background I applied the mask to the daisies then colored around them with the watercolor crayons, blending them with a waterbrush, adding additional colors as needed.

To add a little more texture and interest, I used the Embossing with Stencils Technique from Club CR8, and embossed the Roman Letters Stencil over the piece using the Golden Sand Embossing Powder.  Then added added a little more stenciling using the Diamonds Stencil with watercolor crayons.  Once the piece was completely dry, I embossed the edges with Vintage Mahogany Embossing Tinsel.
