So let me now talk about the cards I made using products from this awesome release. The first card is using the JUMBO FLOWER POT STAMP & DIE set. I stamped the images on Arches Cold Press water colour paper with Distress ink -Antique Linen.I coloured the image with Daniel Smith Watercolours. This image has few very tiny flowers and it becomes a lil difficult to watercolour. You can also heat emboss this image with white embossing powder or stamp the image with black waterproof ink before you watercolor.
For the next card I used the gorgeous SIMPLE STEM Stamp set along with the SPOTLIGHT HEXAGON stencil. I used the hexagon mask and stamped the various images around the hexagon. I used Memento Tuxedo ink since I wanted to colour the images with copic markers.I used the OVERSIZED SMILE stamp set for the sentiment and that finished the card so beautifully.
For the next card I used the same SIMPLE STEM stamp set once more but with a different technique.I stamped the big flower and few leaves multiple times on my watercolour paper and attempted to do some no line watercolouring.I love the way this card turned out and its one of my favourites.
The next set of cards feature the BIRTHDAY PUPPIES and BIRTHDAY KITTIES. I love these cute images which can be combined with so many other Waffle Flower stamps to create adorable projects.
I used the BRICK WALL stencil to ink blend a wall pannel and placed the cute puppies coloured with copic markers to create a scene.I also used a light blue pattern paper from the UNICORN PAPER PAD to create the sky for my card.
