3 more watercolored cards using Simon Says Stamp Stronger Together card kit

Namaste! Watercoloring is going strong in my neck of the woods. And lucky for me, the current Simon Says Stamp Stronger Together card kit has 3 pre-printed watercolor cards by the amazingly talented Suzy Plantamura. I used those to create these 3 cards. For all these, I used the watercolor pencils that came with the kit.

Let’s look at each of them, shall we?

Card 1:

Keeping it simple, a card of encouragement using a sheet of the patterned paper from the #ssscardkit October 2019, and a small sentiment from the tiny words of encouragement stamp set. Inside has the large “You couldn’t be more awesome” embossed in gold. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LMqr3AWnn/?igshid=1bk2a5iu3pc83

Another thanks card from the October 2019 #ssscardkit. I added a few gems from #nuvo used #prismacolorpencils for the flowers and #nuvoembossingpowder for the flower image. I used the Neenah desert storm paper that was included in the kit as the panel to color on, quite enjoyed not starting on a white base. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LFtQmAHEq/?igshid=1v3c76d0cvzmy

Lift ink, yupo paper and foil are awesome to work with. I saw a while back @jessicafrostballas do the foil with alcohol inks and I’ve been hooked ever since. I was inspired by @jennifermcguireink video on puzzle card last to make this version using the @simonsaysstamp October card kit. #simonsaysstamp #sssck #ssscardkit #paperlover #paperlove #handmade #yupopaper #neenahpaper #alcoholink #alcoholinkart ##timholtz #rangerinks #cardmaking #cardmaker #targetas #greetingcarddesign #cards (at Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn32ocUgROx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=frvyomm0t8g0

Background check - Use textured card stock

Background check – Use textured card stock

Hello and welcome to 11th post in the #vsbackgroundcheck series. Today’s idea is to use textured cardstock for the card base. This one here came from one of Hero Arts’ card kits. But I will try and link to similar ones below. The subtle texture on this card stock does wonders to the focal point cluster. Honestly speaking, I worked on the focal point on this card because the background was a…

Hi friends, I am so excited to share tip #10 for our series #vsbackgroundcheck! This is one of my favorite techniques – repeat stamping.

Like I did in the two cards below: In the first card, I stamped and fussy cut images for my focal point using Tuzedo Black ink. Then I colored them using Spectrum…
