Flying in again today with another Clearly Besotted Stamps sneaky peek! Love Blossoms comes as both a stamp set and a matching die set. Although the stamps are gorgeous I was influenced by the Watercolor for Card Makers class from Online Card Classes to break out my watercolours :) Well I say watercolours, I actually used Hero Arts sprays! I grabbed some Tim Holtz watercolor card and die cut the blooms, wetted them and then dotted on diluted colour from the Hero Arts sprays. A little diluted Pale Tomato with a dot of diluted Butter Bar in the centre.
While still damp I pushed the flowers into the cupped palm of my hand to give them dimension then added a pearl and a touch of Star Dust Stickles to the middle of each flower. I also used diluted Pool for a wash of colour behind the blossom branch. The branch itself is die cut from Simon Says Stamp Smoke card and I used the matching Smoke ink for the sentiment. Then everything was mounted onto a Fog card base :)
Don’t forget to pop over to Stephanie’s blog; she’s a card making machine at release time LOL and also there are links to projects from the rest of the Design Team too :)
I will be back tomorrow with more watercolour fun! Hope to see you then :D

Oh Debby, this is stunning!! I adore how amazingly you have put all the elements of this card together. Gorgeous water colouring is just so perfect for a wedding card like this. Every one of your cards is amazing – you are such an inspiration. I was delighted that you were showing us a technique in the watercolour class, which I am just loving!! xx
Absolutely gorgeous card, Debby! I love how you diluted your HA sprays to create your blossoms, and how you shaped them to add dimension! I also love the soft blue background…it really makes the branch and flowers pop on this card! Such a lovely wedding card!
Beautiful! xx
Absolutely gorgeous Debby xx
Debby, your blossom branch look like it is token right out of a cherry-tree! The time of the trees is at its end, but your card will be in flower forever! Love it!
Have a nice weekend and a fabulous mothers-day!
