As we head in to wedding season I thought one of the beautiful Churches dies from Simon Says Stamp would combine well with a simple watercolor wash for a cute spring watercolor wedding themed set of cards.
There’s a video below of how I stamped a sentiment from the Congratulations set on Arches watercolor card with Versamark and then white heat embossed. I taped this piece of card and two others to boards and loosely watercolored pink coral washes and splattered with spare paint and Perfect Pearls before die cutting with a Stitched Rectangle.
I also die cut three Churches from more of the watercolor card, rubbed them with Ranger Multi Medium Matte before dunking in Rock Candy Distress Glitter.
On a piece of Smoke card I stamped and white heat embossed the ‘CELEBRATE’ and ‘RSVP’ phrases from the Make An Invitation set and trimmed them out before mounting them with foam adhesive on the panels.
I then added the church die cuts, again with foam adhesive, mounted the panels to Fog card bases and decorated with sequins and pearls. The result is a simple design that could easily be mass-produced :D
