Watercolor Ranunculus Two Ways with Kelly

Hello Crafters! When I started out with today's card my goal was to do really simple watercoloring to show you how easy it is to achieve beautiful results with minimal effort. The effort was so minimal in fact, I ended up with two cards. Ha!

The clean and simple card was where I started and it was just as simple as I envisioned it. I really just dropped color over my white heat embossing and let it dry. BAM. Beautiful card. It helps when you're starting out with such amazing stamps!

After I finished the first card, I had all this gorgeous Distress Ink that I was about to waste by just wiping it away. Sounds almost blasphemous right? I decided that I could at least swoop some water color paper through it and have a piece to practice my hand lettering.

Instead I ended up with a background that I really loved. Since I already had all the pieces and parts out, it took no time at all to do a bit more heat embossing to create my second card.

You can watch both cards from start to finish in the video below.

I love how both cards use all the same products but are two completely different styles. Versatile stamps are something we can all use.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Petunia Builders with Kara

Good Morning! Kara back with again to share a few more projects showcasing the newest release. This time I'm focusing on the Petunia Builders set.

This multi-step stamp set allows you to create the most beautiful flowers effortlessly! I used one of my go-to PURE Color Dye Ink color combinations for the flowers: Nautical Navy, Bo Peep and Lake House. For the leaves I used Mojito and Appletini.

As a subtle backdrop for the flowers I stamped the Big Top Background in Fairy Dust ink onto a piece of white cardstock cut with the 4 Bar Stitched Rectangle die. That awesome background isn't just for circus cards! I stamped a few sentiments from the newly released Kind Soul stamp set and then arranged my flowers. I adhered the flowers and leaves at varying heights with dimensional adhesive. The panel was then layered with a piece of Steel Mill cardstock and adhered to a white card base.

My second card features all the same supplies, but the Big Top Background is stamped so that it radiates out of one corner.

As soon as I saw the flowers included in this set I knew it would be a great compliment to the Flora and Fauna 2 stamp set. The hummingbird is the perfect size!

Thanks for stopping by today!
