you can do it...

Happy Friday everyone!  Popping in with a card for a few challenges:  Freshly Made Sketches, Color Throwdown and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.    My card today uses the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Day stamp and die set.  I have used this set a lot recently... not hard to do as it is so pretty!  For this card I did some simple watercoloring with my ZIGs and then die cut the images with the matching dies.  To add some interest to my card I used a piece of Tim Holtz distress woodgrain cardstock.  Since it is hard to stamp on woodgrain cardstock I decided to emboss the sentiment on a strip of vellum cardstock.  The images were stamped in VersaFine CLAIR and the sentiment was stamped with VersaMark watermark ink and then heat embossed with WOW! black embossing powder.    I added some Wink of Stella to the butterfly and then adhered all the pieces finishing with some Pretty Pink Posh white jewels.  This is also going to the SSS Flickr challenge.



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

Supplies:  Cardstock:  SU! Crumb Cake, Tim Holtz woodgrain, PTI vellum, Strathmore smooth Bristol; Stamps and dies:  Simon Says Stamp; Inks:  VersaFine CLAIR and VersaMark; Embossing powder:  WOW!; Watercolor Medium:  ZIG Clean Color Real Brush markers; Pretty Pink Posh jewels
