Inspire Me Monday – Washy Watercolour

PP_Blog_InspireMeMonday_Badge_JessieBanks.png

Hey everyone! I am here today, hopefully to help inspire your creative week, using an awesome floral image from Power Poppy!

I am all about floral cards, in ever medium ever!! Today I have a video with some super soft watercolour on the Bubbles and Fizz digital stamp!

PP Bubble and FIzz

I really love this image, I chose to print the lightened version of the stamp and use some light washy watercolours. I really love the way this card came out. In my usual style I blew up the image to fit the front of a card and added the sentiment that comes along with it!
I hope you enjoy my video!

I have always loved how washy watercolours work so well with florals, you don’t have to worry about picking every little detail to come out with a super lovely card front!

Hey everyone it’s day 3 of previews for The Greeting Farm! This set is called Kitty Stacks! It is super cute!

TGF Kitties WM

I created this sweet little scene with the stamps in the scene and a little bit of drawing as well! I stamped and masked all my images then added in the lamp, dresser, window, trees, and cloud with a multiliner.

I pained the entire scene up with my watercolours and kept it a super CAS card!

Amazing You

Hey everyone! Today I am sharing a card with you all for 7-Kids Your Crafting Supply Store, I painted up a floral card using the Amazing You set from Altenew. It is out of stock right now, but if you really want it, I would just send Kelly and email and mention it to her.

I created masks of all the images and then layered and stamped all the flowers together on Fabriano Artistico 140lbs hotpress watercolour paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then painted them with my Daniel Smith and Schmincke watercolours! Of course I did record it for you all so there is a video as well!

Hope you enjoy the video!

Beary Big Hugs

Hey everyone, today I have a card featuring Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.

I layered up a few stamps from the Beary Big Hugs stamp set and painted it with my watercolours, I have been working with a new watercolour paper and will have a review of a bunch of different papers to share with you hopefully in a week or so.

KKS Bears.jpg.

I painted the little bear up using my Schmincke and Daniel Smith watercolours. I think it came out darling, not so sure about the paper I used as the background didn’t blend the way I intended it to, but that is the nature of watercolours. You can only control them so much! all in all I am very happy with the way this card turned out.

I would like to enter this card into Kraftin Kimmies Wonderful Wednesday challenge.

Mother Love

Hey everyone! It’s new release day over at Whimsy Stamps! I have used the sentiment set Mother Love for my  card to share with you today… well actually I made two of them!

Jessie - Mother Love 2

I really do love making these super simple cards with just a little watercolour and a fantastic sentiment and this set was perfect for just that!

Jessie - Mother love

So I did it twice, with two different kinds of watercolour paper achieving two completely different looks. The first card was on Arches Coldpress paper, and the second was on BeePaper.
