I stamped the pretty flowers onto Canson XL Watercolour paper using Ink On 3 Fadeout ink pad & watercoloured them using my Altenew Watercolour pan set. 

I wanted to create an encouragement card for a friend so I stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamps You Matter stamps set in black ink and then die cut the word "You" using the coordinating die in Fog Gray card stock & foam mounted it.

I add a few flicks of white gouache and paint & then foam mounted my whole panel and attached it to my card.

On today's card I am featuring Gina K Designs Majestic Peonies Stamps. This beautiful image took me a long time to colour & I really enjoyed colouring it although I haven't had as much time to craft as usual due to being needed to work more hours being front line staff in this terrifying pandemic! 

I stamped the images onto X Press It Copic Blending card using Ink On 3 Fadeout ink pad & coloured it with my copics.

 I die cut some of Simon's Flickering Butterflies using SSS wood grain card stock & I also added a few of Simon's Moonshine Confetti sequins. Originally I chose coloured sequins but then found myself reaching for my favourite Moonshine Confetti sequins again as I love how sparkly they are in real life.

 Other supplies used - 

 Simon Says Stamp Sketched Flowers stamp set, Die cutting machine, Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Tim Holtz Stamping Platform, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue, SSS Black Pigment Ink Pad

Today I am featuring Gina K's Peaceful Roses clear stamp set & Rose Gold Embossing Powder. 

For a change I decided to heat emboss my image using Rose Gold embossing powder to give my card a vintage look, & I then water coloured it using Altenew Watercolour Pans.

To create my largest background I blended Scattered Straw, Bundled Sage & Dried Marigold Distress Inks over a piece of white card stock and once dry I then stamped &  heat embossed Simon Says Stamps Rose Lattice stamp using clear embossing powder. By using clear embossing powder after I had blended my inks I could achieve a really pretty subtle pattern on my background. 

My middle layer of card stock has been stamped with Simon Says Stamps Modern Rose Blooms stamp & heat embossed in white embossing powder. 

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps Friendship Messages Stamp Set & I've stamped it in Simon's Black Pigment Ink.  I've embellished my card with twine, butterflies, Nuvo Simply White Crystal Drops & a pretty sparkly jewel.

 Other supplies used -

 Simon Says Stamp Woodgrain card stock,  Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape,  Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks, Tonic Scissors, Die Cutting machine, White Fun Foam,  SSS Tacky Glue, & SSS Embossing Ink Pad.
