On today's card I am featuring Art Impressions Blooming Birdhouse Cushion Cling Stamps Set.
I wanted this card to be loosely water coloured and & try & get out of the habit of colouring with water colours very precise the way I colour with my copics, so I very roughly put down some background colour using Bundled Sage & Stormy Sky Distress Ink onto Canson XL Watercolour paper before stamping the birdhouse in Pumice Stone Distress Ink.
I coloured the birdhouse using Pumice Stone & Walnut Stain distress inks & then added a little water to my background before stamping the foliage & floral stamps in Mowed Lawn, Dusty Concord & Broken China Distress Inks.
The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps Tiny Words Encouragement stamps set & I have stamped it using Simon Says Stamp Black pigment ink.
My base card has been created using Simon's 3 Sided Scallop Die & I've added some Twine, Pearls, Simon's Flickering Butterflies & Simply White Crystal Drops to embellish.
Other supplies used -
Simon Says Stamp Woodgrain card stock, Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks, Tonic Scissors, Die Cutting machine, SSS Tacky Glue, & SSS Black pigment ink.

Simon Says Stamp has a brand new release out today called
with lots of lovely new products which are now available to purchase.
I have two CAS cards to share using the new Rounded Alphabet Dies from today's Celebrate You release.
I had created a couple of inky backgrounds last weekend while experimenting with my new Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Pearls which I received in my Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit so I decided to create some cards with them using the new Rounded Alphabet Dies.
The letters on both cards have been die cut and popped up using fun foam for some added dimension and as I didn't have any black fun foam I coloured mine using a sharpie to avoid the obvious signs of fun foam. I die cut the letters in black glitter card stock & have added a few of Simon's Flickering Butterflies which I die cut from a practice sheet of Yupo which was also in my SSS May card kit.
My last card today has also been created using the Alcohol Ink Pearls & I have simply added some Nuvo Ebony Crystal Drops to embellish.
