I have a video for you today – two in one week! I’m taking a look at the new STAMPtember set from Studio Katia and have pulled out my watercolours for some simple painting over heat embossing. The Floral Frame set also comes as a set with matching die. I’ve linked all supplies at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

STUDIO KATIA STAMPTEMBER EXCLUSIVE
EASY WATERCOLOUR TECHNIQUE
I wanted to watercolour those gorgeous flowers and because I wanted to include the ring of the wreath I decided to gold heat emboss the image. This way I get a lovely elegant line for the wreath circle and a bonus is that the heat embossed lines make for an easy way to watercolour as the raised lines of the heat embossing define the edges of the petals and leaves creating little wells to contain the watercolour. Watercolouring heat embossed images is how I first started out with my paints and if you haven’t given it a go before I highly encourage you to try it out. Gold heat embossing gives a lovely warmth which is particularly appropriate for autumn colours but I also like to use white heat embossing which gives a lovely ethereal look too.
