On today's card I am featuring Simon Say Stamps exclusive beautiful Winter Flowers Clear Stamps & Everything Winter Sentiment Strips.

I stamped my images onto Canson XL Watercolor paper using Ink On 3 No Line Fadout ink pad & then water coloured them using Altenew watercolour pans.

I heat embossed some stars from the Party Like A Panda & Fairy Tale Spinners stamp sets, using Simon Says Stamps Clear Embossing Ink Pad & White Fine Detail Embossing Powder & then gave my background a watercolour wash, adding deeper colours until I reached the desired colour. I doodled over where the dotted lines are on the stamped images are using a white gel pen as with using a No Line Fadeout ink pad they were pretty much impossible to see. My dotted lines aren't perfect but I'm glad I went over them as the white looks lovely with the poinsettias.

I added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamps Everything Winter Sentiment Strips & embellished my card with some Pearls, Sequins, Simply White Crystal Drops & Gouache.

Other supplies used - 

Simon Says Stamp Black card stock & Tacky Glue, Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Tim Holtz Stamping Platform, Tonic Scissors,  Sakura White Gel Pen, Tonic Nuvo Paint Brushes.

On today's card I am featuring Honey Bee Balloon Card Borders & Log Cabin Gem Stickers. The sticker set I used is currently out of stock but there are lots of other Honey Bee Gem Stickers available here.

I die cut the Balloons with Lawn Fawn's Hello Sunshine Remix 6x6 papers and mounted them onto fun foam ready to attach to my card.

I created a simple ink blended background using Broken China distress ink and added some clouds freehand using white gouache.  

  When I was creating my card I also had Simon Says Stamps Fairy Tale Spinners stamp set from the latest Send Happiness release on my desk awaiting an inking so I decided to add a fairy image from the Fairy tales stamp set. I stamped my image using Simon Says Stamps Intense Black Ink Pad, coloured it with my copics & then fussy cut it. 

I heat embossed a sentiment and some stars from the same Fairy Tale Spinners stamp set using Nuvo Classic Silver Embossing Powder & assembled my card.

Other supplies used - 

SSS Embossing Ink Pad, White Fun Foam, X-Press It Copic blending card, Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Tim Holtz Stamping Platform, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue, Glitter Duster, SSS Unicorn Dust, May Arts Twine

On today's card I am featuring Lawn Fawn's Rolled Roses Dies & Hello Sunshine Remx 6x6 paper pad.  

To create my roses I blended Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserve & Milled Lavender distress inks onto both sides of pieces of white card stock and once dry I die cut the card stock using the Rolled Roses dies and assembled them. I thought the roses go perfectly with the roses on one of the gnomes hats from Simon Says Stamps adorable Spring Gnomes stamp set, so I stamped two of the gnomes and coloured them with my copics & then fussy cut them.

My shaker was created using Whimsy Stamps Checker background wafer die which I die cut using Simon Says Stamps Wood Grain card stock & I literally did a pick and mix selection of sequins to add to my shaker.

I've stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamps Beautiful Flowers stamp set using Simon Says Stamps Intense Black Ink Pad to add to my card & then added a few pretty Studio Katia Foil Pearls.
