Hello everyone! Today I'm bringing some spring inspiration! I'm using the beautiful
This is such a beautiful stamp. I loved working with it and you can make it simple or create a repeating pattern. Let me show you how I made my card. I first started by composing my image and sentiment in the computer. I printed it out onto copy paper. Then I taped a piece of watercolor paper to the copy paper making sure the watercolor paper was positioned to where I wanted the image to print.
I had decided to use watercolor pencils for this project. I used woodless watercolor pencils but you could use whatever you have. I chose a very limited palette.
I started with the flower. I did a fairly light coat of the coral. I tried to keep my strokes following the form of the section that I was painting.
Using a light hand with this color allowed me to add more color later. I next added the green. I put on the dark first then added the lighter green where I wanted my highlights.
After finishing up the green I added the brown color with another layer of the pink - dry - then went in with my damp brush and softened the colors.
I also very lightly went around the flower with the blue and then blended it out. I feel this made the flower stand out a bit more. I chose a piece of green paper for my background. I prepared a standard A2 size white top folding card base and adhered the green paper leaving a very thin margin of white on either side.
I adhered my flower panel onto the green. For finishing I added 2 black peel-offs - one down either side of the green and I added some pretty sparkly confetti. And that finished my card!
I loved working with this stamp. It's so pretty and elegant. I hope I've inspired you to create something pretty today! You can find this beautiful digital stamp and many more at
