More from the Simon Says Stamp Celebrate You Release

19 May

Good morning!  Just popping in to share one more card from the Simon Says Stamp Celebrate You release!  I really loved this set of Suzy’s watercolor prints and have another one to share today, this one utilizing watercolors!

I started by taping the card to a hardboard and then watercolored it with mijello mission watercolors.  I worked one image at a time and finished with the grass and sky.  When painting images like the trees I’d paint one and then let that dry while I worked on a tree that didn’t touch any wet paint ensuring that I wouldn’t have any unwanted blending or bleeding.  Once I was totally done I added accents with a white gel pen along the edges of the images and also gave the sky a few bright stars.  I also added chunky and prisma glitter along the clouds and a little crystal glaze to the flames and moon!

Have the Best Day Ever by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

Once I was done I trimmed off the taped edges and adhered it to a card base.  It’s a little smaller than an A2 panel because I didn’t want a white border. Finally I added a sentiment from Stop Drop Party.  I love that the sentiment could be used for a birthday card or just a general encouragement card and the masculine vibe is also great since I don’t have a lot of those in my stash!  I actually think I might be sending it to my outdoorsy brother-in-law who has a birthday later this month! 😉

Anyway, I hope this gives you an idea for the watercolor prints!  You can see another one I completed from this release here!  Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic week!
