Beautiful Flowers

Posted in Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Stamp Challenges, Simon Says Stamps, Stoneground Paint Co., Watercolor by

Hey all, today I have a pretty flower card to play along with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. The theme this week is No Designer Paper. Which, thankfully is pretty easy for me, I do not use a lot of patterned paper anyway.

I filmed a process video of this card. I had 2 hours and 45 minutes of footage so this video is a longer one for me. As per usual I painted in tons of layers. and am super happy with how this one turned out.

The video will be here as soon as it finishes uploading!

Hey all! I have lots of things and goals I want to accomplish this year, and part of it is branching out and working with other companies. So today I decided to play along with Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge. This weeks theme is Something New, which made it pretty easy.

Simon Says Stamp - Sketched Flowers - Jessie Banks

I pulled out a brand new set, that I haven’t used yet from Simon Says Stamps called Sketched Flowers. I also used a new watercolor to me Daniel Smith’s Sleeping Beauty Turquoise.

I had so much fun painting this piece and playing with some colours I haven’t used much, or at all before.

Hey everyone! Today I have card to share with you all featuring Whimsy Stamps! I coloured up Braided Sweetie with my copic markers, live in my Cards and Colour! Facebook Group a while ago.

Jessie - Whimsy - Braided Sweetie

I fussy cut her out and set her aside. I die cut a circle using the Memory Box Circle Basics dies, out of Masking Paper. Using Distress Oxide in Fossilized Amber and Broken China to create the background. I cut apart a stamp from the Birthday Balloons Set, and the Birthday Messages set to create the sentiment.

Here is a fun little watercolour card I made, I used a sunflower stamp, I have no idea who makes it, it is actually for doing pottery. I embossed with white embossing powder and coloured it, in a watercolour fashion, using distress inks. (mustard seed, wild honey, dried marigold, ripe persimmon, crushed olive, and peeled paint).

I then added splatters on the background with mustard seed, and ripe persimmon. it is layered on a terracotta orange cardstock base with a chocolate brown mat (not sure whose card stocks they are probably Paper Trey Ink).

The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp Set called Birthday Messages 3×4, and is stamped in Wendi Vecchi Archival Ink in the colour Potting Soil

My card base is Neenah Desert Storm 80lbs cardstock, then I cut a layer of Neenah Solar White cardstock and  used the Prima Butterfly stencil (I can’t find a link for) and inked it with Distress ink in Seedless Preserves, and Peacock Feathers.

A piece of Simon Says Stamp Woodgrain Cardstock,edged it in seedless preserves, and tor a piece of Bazzill 40lbs vellum and tore it slightly larger.
