Watercolour Blossoms and Blooms

I can't seem to get enough of the Blossoms and Blooms stamp set.  There are so many ways to create beautiful cards.
Today I used my stamparatus and spritzer to create a watercolour look.

1. Start with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3 3/4 by 5”
2. Place on Stamparatus
3. Position stamp on glass plate
4. Add Rocco Rose ink to stamp.  Spritz lightly with water
5. Stamp.
5. Clean stamp.
6.Using a sponge or finger dauber add Rich Razzelberry ink to the centers of the flowers only.
7. Spritz lightly and stamp.  Clean stamp.
8. Using a finger dauber add Blackberry Bliss to the flower centers taking care to stay in the centers.      Spritz and stamp.
    Stamp centers of flowers with Daffodil Delight
9. Repeat for leaves.  Stamp first with Pear Pizzaz followed by Old Olive
10.  Add 3 small flowers stamping and spritzing first with Balmy Blue and then Pacific Point
11. Fill in white spaces using Crumb Cake and splatter stamp from Forever Fern.

Stamp sentiment with Rich Razzelberry ink and die cut with the Tasteful Label Dies. Using another die, die a label with Vellum

Add sentiment label with Vellum label and adhere to card front over ribbon.

Mat with Rocco Rose card stock and before adhering to Pear Pizzazz card base add some ribbon near bottom.
Ribbon is Whisper White stamped with a leaf stamp and Pear Pizzazz ink.

Finish card by adding Guilded Gems.

Watercolor Rooted in Nature - a partial case

Now that my pre-order has finally arrived, I have some time to sit and play with probably my most favourite stamp set in the entire order, - "Rooted in Nature".

I did a partial case of a card I saw in Pinterest made by Cindy Elam

I borrowed the rocks and the sun from the Waterfront stamp set, both of which I stamped on Watercolor paper.

The tree was inked with Mossy Meadow ink and spritzed lightly prior to stamping.  The second tree was stamped without re-inking. To add some dimension to parts of the tree I used a Mossy Meadow marker especially on the lower branches.

An aqua painter was used to blend the water and the rocks.

Prior to added it to the card front with dimensionals I wrapped a piece of Baker's twine around the bottom and tied it in a knot.

This focal point was trimmed to  2 3/4 by 5 1/2" and added to a a 4 1/4 by 2" strip of watercolor paper embossed with two sizes of leaves.

 

Both pieces were adhered to a Soft Suede card base.
