Soft & Subtle Happy Wishes with Joni

Hello Everyone, Joni here sharing an inspiration using Doodle Buds stamp set and companion die set. This card has reminded me how versatile the entire set is. For today's project I decided to go with a more neutral color scheme.

For this project I also used Happy Wishes Words die for sentiment. The vellum leaves were die-cut from Under the Mistletoe die set and also used the large frame from Gift Card Layers die set.

To begin, I first die-cut my card base on a Kraft cardstock using the Gift Card Layers Die. Then cut a white card base a little smaller than an A2 card. The "Happy Wishes" sentiment was die-cut in white then colored with Copic markers.

Next, the flower images where stamped with Coconut Husk die ink and then colored with Copic markers. Then, then die-cut the flowers with its coordinating dies and adhered with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Watercolored Dahlias With Kara

Good Morning! It's Kara, back again to share a project featuring a favorite of mine from this month's release. I know by how fast this set sold out of the WPlus9 Shop that it's one of your favorites too: Beautiful Bouquets: Dahlia!

I started by stamping this image in Versamark ink onto watercolor paper. I then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I started to add color by first wetting a small area and then dropping the distress ink into the desired area. I layered in 3 colors of green for the leaves to add variation, as well as a few shades of reds and oranges for the flowers. Once that was dry, I went in and added a bit of water on the background and painted on the blue distress ink. I had a lot of fun with this. Most of time I'm too impatient, but I really tried to allow areas to dry and then go back in with some more color. I love how it turned out!

When all of my watercoloring was dry I die cut the panel with the Sunshine Layers Die. I prefer to die cut after I paint because the pressure from the die cutting machine helps to flatten any warping from the water. I love to use black on my cards as a bold accent. Here I've used black cardstock to die cut the new Happy Wishes Words Die. I've also added a secondary sentiment from the Dahlia set to finish it off.

I can't wait to start seeing you use this set! Thanks so much for stopping by.
