Hello everyone… We are wishing you a beautiful season… Spring is one of my favorite season and it always inspire me with its colors, flowers, and beautiful sky.

Today, I have a card that I created using Graciellie Design Digital Stamp – True Beauty. This stamp set is also available in Spanish version.

I open the PNG files of the window and one of the sentiment with Silhouette Studio software, resized them and printed them on a white cardstock.But, if you do not have this software, you can use any picture editing or even Microsoft Word software that will work well for this step.

I fussy cut the window with micro-tip scissors, and cut out the window slots with craft knife. And for the sentiment, I cut it using one ODBD – Oval Stitched Rows Dies.

I colored the window and flowers with Leisure Arts – Premium Colored Pencils. After that, I blended the colors using ShinHan Touch Twin Colorless Blender Marker.

After that, I painted a simple clear sky and hill landscape scene with watercolor paint and small round brush. I trimmed it to fit behind the window and I added it behind the window with 3D foam tape.

I added the whole finished image on the white card with dries-clear adhesive, and then added the sentiment on it with 3D foam tape, too.

I finished the card by adding some white pearl gems on the flowers.

I hope you enjoy the post today… Thank you so much for stopping by and may you all have a beautiful day!

Hello everyone… This is my second post for today 🙂 And still Spring is my inspiration when I created these 3 CAS Sympathy Cards.

I am in love with the STAMPlorations – Blossom Overture Stamp Set. This stamp set has beautiful flowers and sentiments that are great for making card for any occasion. On the background, I used the Nestled Circles ARTplorations Stencil with Distress Ink using Monoprinting With Stencil technique. Head over to STAMPlorations Blog to read the full post and tutorial 🙂

But I would like to share with you here how I created those roses… So…about a week ago I received a pack of 30 Watercolor Colored Pencils and I have been wanting to try them 🙂 And this project is my first time using them.

First, I stamped the flowers 3 times on a watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx Black with Mini MISTI.

I dried the stamped rose images with craft heater, but this VersaFine ink dries fast without this step. Next step, I colored the roses by adding the color just the part where the darkest shade is gonna be.

And then using a small round brush (or use brush that comes with this pack) I turned the colored images into watercolored images. I wet the tip of the brush, not to much water needed, and then gently I pulled the color pigment from the bottom to top to fill all the mage with color. I did the same way with the stalk and leaves.

Check out how beautiful the colors blended and turn out into watercolor paint… oh… I AM FALLING IN LOVE WITH THESE WATERCOLOR PENCILS at the first try!!! They become one of my favorite coloring mediums already!

I use micro-tip scissors to fussy cut the roses to use on these cards together with the sentiments that I stamped them with Memento Dew Drop Inks. I finished the card with white pearl gems.

That all my cards today. I hope you all can enjoy this post today 🙂 And…before you go… There is a special sale at STAMPlorations Store!
