hello... lovely

Hello!  Hope your week is going well.  I'm popping in with a card that I made for a few challenges:  the Paper Players (colors), the Flower Challenge (embossing) and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (stitching - mine is faux stitching on the die cut rectangle).   Several months ago I got the dies that match the Concord & 9th Hello Lovely stamp set and ever since then I have been trying to get something made with them.  Well that day finally arrived when I saw the color combo at the Paper Players.   I heat embossed the floral image on some watercolor paper in white and then colored everything with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors.   I let the piece dry, splattered on some black paint and then die cut the piece when the splatters were dry.  I die cut some Simon Says Stamp fog cardstock with the largest A Jillian Vance Design stitched dot rectangle die and adhered that to a white cardstock base.  The die cut floral image was adhered with foam dimensionals.  I die cut the word lovely from Fog and Pool Party cardstocks, adhered them together and then adhered to the floral piece.  The word hello was heat embossed in white on vellum, die cut with a little banner die and then adhered with glue dots.



Thanks for stopping by... have a wonderful day!

Supplies:  Cardstock:  PTI white and vellum, SSS fog, SU! Pool Party, Arches Hot press watercolor; Stamps:  Concord & 9t; Dies:  Concord & 9th and AJVD; Ink:  VersaMark watermark ink; Watercolor medium:  Kuretake Gansai Tambi; Embossing powder:  Hero Arts

Rosemary I'm so glad my colours inspired you to reach out and use this stamp set - your watercoloured florals are fabulous! I love the subtlety of the sentiment that allows your flowers to take centre stage - gorgeous. Thanks for playing along with my colour challenge over at The Paper Players this week!

This is absolutely gorgeous, Rosemary! I also bought the die to this stamp set and have yet to use it (sad to say)! You've inspired me to create with it now. Thanks for joining us in the challenge at Paper Players!
