Creating Another Elegant Card Using Stampin'Up! Watercolor Shapes Stamp Set
April 13, 2023
Today we're Creatng Another Elegant Card Using Stampin'Up! Watercolor Shapes Stamp Set. Tuesday we created a stunning card using this set...if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card.
This is the Watercolorr Shapes stamp set..
Tuesday's card utilized a punch for the silhouette image but today's card uses stamps for this effect.
Here's today's beauty...
and a bit closer...
For the background today we used two overlapping Watercolor Shapes circles in Daffodil Delight. As you can see the built in shading of the stamp with the varying depths of color really makes the focal stamp pop!
The focus for the card is actually 2 stamps, the leaves/stem and the blossom. These are from the Sending Smiles stamp set. We usually don't stamp florals in black ink, but since we are wanting the silhouette image we are using Stazon Jet Black ink.
Tuesday I explained that when I'm using a stamp with large areas of solid image (not just a outline image) that I recommend using Stazon ink--it provides a deep black color and seems to provide a very good 'cover.'
The 'hello' is from the Go To Greetings set--the little greeting just snuggled in there perfectly... and also gives you a card that can be used for most occasions.
The gold pearls are from the Festive Pearls that were carried over from the Holiday mini last year--they are a pretty bright gold and add that touch of elegance to this card.
It's all topped off with the gold cord bow (Elegant Trim) that "ties" it all together.
