Today's card is just one that I made from bits and bobs lying around my craft space, so I just put it together and it will go in my card stash, to either use myself or give away to family, friends or charities.
The panel, was a watercolour piece (I have loads of these) that I had made whilst 'playing' one day. I always put such pieces in a dedicated drawer to pull out when needed.
The flowers were from a test stamping of a Hero Arts 'Color Layering For You Flower' stamp set, and I must just say that out of all the layering stamp sets I own, this was by far the easiest set I have ever used to layer up! Then I fussy cut them out and put them in a box that I have for 'test' stamps and die cuts.
The sentiment was made from a set of word stamps from WOW (the company that make the Melt It powder and fabulous embossing powders), you just make up your own sentiments with the individual words . . . so versatile!
I finished it off with some of those dew drops I made over the weekend (the ones made with Bermuda Bay re-inker) . . . they still weren't dry and you can see some little smudges, but I don't think that the recipient will notice . . . well, I hope not anyway!
Here is the finished card.
I want to thank you all for visiting today, have a really lovely one! Until next time. xx
This is very pretty. The watercolor background is a keeper for sure! That is a cute idea for the sentiment set, it makes a very unique saying for your pretty flower card.

Oh, this is such a lovely card, Hazel!!!! Lovely soft blues and beautiful flowers and your dew drops look amazing!!!! Your watercoloured pieces are fabulous!!!! I can't do watercolouring :( - don't know if the problem lies with the paper I use or the paint (very cheap!!!) I've got, but I can never get a watercoloured look I like!!! But I will keep on trying - maybe one day I can do it as wonderful as you have here!!! Such a beautiful card, my friend!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Wednesday!!!

ReplyDeleteSounds like we are doing similar things with 'using up' bits & bobs - and this one is gorgeous! Love this layout, and your layered flowers look splendid against the wonderful w/c background.(I'm envious with the beautiful water coloring too!) Your dewdrops are excellent! Like the way you've arranged the floral bouquet in the corner and hanging over. Very dimensional. TFS & Hugs
