More Spring Flowers!

28 Mar

Have you seen all the giveaways and exciting things happening on my blog?!  You can find my Crafty Christmas Collaboration with a $25 giveaway to Lawn Fawn and a $100 giveaway to the crafty store of your choice here and the 5th Anniversary Celebration for A Blog Named Hero with over $500 in giveaways here!

Good morning!  Thanks so much for your kind comments on my first Monday Multiples post!  I appreciate your feedback and look forward to bringing your more mass-produceable cards in the future! 🙂

More Spring Flowers by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says StampToday I’m sharing my final cards using the More Spring Flowers that I watercolored with zig clean color real brush markers a few weeks ago!  You can find my first card here!

More Spring Flowers by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says StampI love pairing neutrals with just one pop of color!  I started by stamping the flowers onto watercolor paper with versamark and heat-embossed them with white embossing powder.  I watercolored the flower with wine red and deep red zig markers and blended them out with a damp paintbrush.  I used the coordinating dies to die cut each flower and then added a little extra sparkle with my spectrum noir clear sparkle brush!

More Spring Flowers by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says StampMy second card pairs light shades of brown and pink!  I followed the same process as the first flower using the tea rose and light carmine zig markers and then die-cut it with the coordinating die.

More Spring Flowers by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says StampFor this card I stamped the foliage from More Springs Flowers and the sentiment from Hope Blooms with two shades of light brown ink.  Again, to finish the card, I simply adhered the flower with foam mounting tape for a little extra dimension!  I love how the neutrals really allow the flower to pop! 🙂 And it’s such a gorgeous flower that it deserves the spotlight! 😉

    Swooning over the graceful elegance and sophistication of both cards, Jess! The attention to detail with your painting and arranging makes each one extra special. As for your previous card: I’m ecstatic to announce that it arrived today! And oh my stars! I thought it was gorgeous in the photo but in real life…I have no words superlative enough to express how stunning it is! So thrilled that it’s mine, mine and mine! What adds to the impact: first card to arrive at my brand-spanking new house! We moved (finally) last weekend! i’m beside myself…thrilled and excited to finally have a craft ROOM! Your card will have a very special place of honour there (likely in a frame!), once I find a place for everything. For now, I’ll just carry it around wherever I go and prop it up where I can see its beauty! Your note: heart-touched! THANK YOU!!
    Hugs~carol
