Simon Says Stamp Graceful Hugs

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Today’s post is a pretty, pastel floral featuring the Graceful Flowers stamp set that I picked up while I was at the CREATE event back in April. Let’s go ahead and run through the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by stamping the floral onto a panel of watercolor paper using VersaMark ink and heat setting that using white embossing powder. I then pulled the Bubblegum, Seafoam and Zest inks to do some simple watercoloring. I smooshed the ink onto my glass mat and added the ink to the image using a water brush. When done with that, I used the coordinating die to trim it out. I did add a little bit of black detail to the centers of the flowers using a Copic Multliner pen to bring out some of those details.

The background panel was created by cutting a panel of seafoam cardstock using the Teardrop Pinpoint Frames and giving it a good dose of white splatter. You guys know that I always need more leaves, so I pulled the Lush Leaves die and cut that from white and silver cardstock. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set using clear embossing powder.

The background panel was added to the card base, the silver leaves were secured with liquid glue, then the white leaves, the floral was adhered with foam tape, the sentiment was secured and some dew drops were added to finish up this project.

And, that does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I think this is a really pretty color combo and look forward to creating another project using them. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have an awesome day!
