I have something a little different today with this clean and simple card using iridescent watercolours on dark card. I’ve linked all supplies at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used.
I used one of the new Finetec palettes – this is the iridescent one and although the paints in the palette look pale and shimmery, on dark card they pack a big punch.
I started this card by masking a piece of slate card so there was just a narrow panel visible. I then stamped flowers and leaves from the Best Mom Ever set in clear embossing ink. The embossing ink leaves a distinct tone on tone image which I used as a guideline to paint with the Finetec palette. I used three of the six colours from the set – Jade Green for the leaves and for the flowers I used both Golden Copper and Light Purple.
I stamped a sentiment from the Handlettered Encouragement set in clear embossing ink and white heat embossed. To finish this clean and simple card I added white gel pen dots to fill in some of the blank areas, sequins and also a few Glossy Accent dots.

Wow, gorgeous card, Debby! Wish I could see the shimmer in real life.
I wish you wouldn’t keep introducing me to amazing new products Debby! These paints look amazing on that dark card, and they suit the stamps well too. Oh well, I didn’t really need any new clothes or shoes this year!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful gift with us. I am so getting into the darker card papers with all the lovely inspiration on these blogs. THANK YOU!!
