I have a monthly video feature, Doodling With Debby, on the Simon Says Stamp blog and I’m sharing here too in case you missed it and for this card, I am watercolouring die cuts to create a bicycle scene. For this card I used the Classic Bicycle die from Simon Says Stamp. A lovely elegant die with beautiful details and I combined it with the Mini Flowers & Leaves dies to create a cascade of flowers flowing from the bicycle basket. I’ve linked all supplies at the end of this post.

The method for this card is very simple, I very roughly and loosely watercoloured layers of colour on to Arches Cold Pressed Watercolour Card using Daniel Smith watercolours. I then splattered with spare paint, Winsor & Newton Permanent White Gouache and Perfect Pearls solution before die cutting the elements from the different patches of colour.

My card was inspired by this one I made over two years ago using the Beautiful Ride set. On this card I no line watercoloured a bicycle scene with cascading purple flowers, and I wanted to recreate this card with dies. If you ever feel in a creative rut, looking back over cards you have made in the past is a great way to get the mojo going again.

Back to the die cut version of this card and I also lightly watercoloured a background and die cut the panel with a Wonky Rectangle die before adhering the panel to a Desert Storm card base. I then adhered the die cut elements with a combination of foam adhesive and Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

For the sentiment, I stamped a greeting which went well from the Vacation Time set in clear embossing ink on Slate card and white heat embossed before trimming to a skinny banner and adding with foam adhesive.

I added a few Groovy Confetti sequins and also lots of dots of Ivory Seashell and Pale Periwinkle Nuvo droplets which helped to expand the cascade of flowers a little and added lots of texture and dimension too.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoy seeing the Doodling With Debby features here too :D
