There’s a video later in this post – I know, quite the rarity around here at the moment LOL. I couldn’t resist though; have you seen all the deliciousness coming out of Waffle Flower recently?! Take, for example, this gorgeous Potted set; perfectly on the succulent/cacti trend and begging out to be watercolored! I took my colour inspiration from a Waffle Flower Blog Post which highlighted gorgeous ways succulents are being used at the moment. In fact this post is over on Waffle Flower too :D
This is such a simple card but the gorgeous image just takes centre stage and not a lot else is needed :D I used Versamark Ink to stamp on watercolour card and white heat embossed. Then it was a case of simply indulging in a little colouring time with the richly pigmented Gansai Tambi paints.
I took a deep breath and hoped I didn’t mess up as I stamped the sweet ‘miss you’ sentiment from the set in Versafine Onyx Black. I added a few sequins and mounted the panel on a Fog card base. As a final touch I made a toning envelope too which hopefully brings out the colour of the terracotta pot :D

Debbie, I have always loved your work and it was such a treat to see this video with the artist in action. Your watercolored card is so beautiful- wonderful for the recipient to get a piece of art through the mail. Thank you for sharing this inspirational card art!
Such a gorgeous card Debby and great video! You definitely have a knack for watercolouring. I adore succulents and cacti and have been collecting both for the past 20 yrs…now I just need the stamps! Unfortunately they’re all sold out, you must have inspired lots of people out there
Sold out already! It is a gorgeous set :D
Jaw-dropping gorgeous. So glad you took it to the next level.
Love the video. Love the card! Thanks for the inspiration.
Stunning card and great video..loved to see you create!
I really enjoyed this video and you are motivating me to do more watercoloring.
Just gorgeous!
Absolutely beautiful card as all of you cards are! I really enjoy seeing your projects and your videos. In addition, I really enjoyed the music you played while painting. Do you mind sharing the artist and song title?
Hi Linda, the music is I’m afraid simply called Piano Ballad in the video editing Apple software I use. Sorry not to be more help!
Awesome card Debby! The Gansai Tambi colours look amazing with this stamped image!
Love those succulents–beautiful watercoloring!
