Hello! Happy Wednesday to you.
Welcome to my Wednesday blog feature where I get to use something I love, do something I love or share something elegant with you.
I've been happy as a clam getting to do what I love - watercoloring! Today I'm happy to share the Bouquet: Ranunculus stamp set
from W PLUS 9. I love butterflies and gold too.
The wonderful thing about this stamp set is that the flowers have already been arranged for you. They're not too large so they can be stamped more than once on your card front, allowing for different arrangements.
I embossed them in white and colored them with Distress Inks on Ranger Distress Watercolor Paper. I added some shading and a bit of ink spatters to complete the design. I've had this set for way too long and what I love about the blog itinerary is that I set aside time to color it for today's post. And watercoloring to me, is the most restful thing to do! This was my third take on it--Just so you know.
My only embellishment was a butterfly embossed onto vellum, and the sentiment die cut out of Gold Foil card stock.
In case you didn't notice - NO SEQUINS! Although I did pull them out and decided to let the florals shine. Alone.
The Hand-Lettered Hello set has smaller sentiments that I can add on a thin banner under the Hello when I decide who will be receiving this card.
Thanks as aways, for stopping by. Your kind comments make my day!

Wow WOW, Cindy! Absolute gorgeousness! You're a stamper after my own heart with the watercoloring and white embossing and gold die cut sentiment. All things I love! I also enjoy watercoloring more than any other medium, and have always found it restful and soothing. I like an image I don't have to mask and put together myself, too. This is one beautiful stamp and you've done a stellar job with it. Happiness!
This card is so wonderful. It's downright dreamy. I don't watercolor very often, but after seeing this card, I know I need to try it again. This is beautiful!
O my goodness, this is STUNNING, Cindy! I am in love with your watercoloring! Such pretty, soft hues...And I love the shading and splatters! Oh I have so desperately wanted to buy this stamp, but every time I am South of the border, it's been sold out! Maybe next time will be a charm :) And I'll be coming back to ask for some watercoloring tips when I do finally get my hands on it! Seriously beautifully done, Cindy!
