Hello, friends! Recently I shared 2 watercolor cards created with Simon’s new Beautiful Bouquet set. I’m so glad you liked them, thank you for your lovely comments – I enjoyed reading them. My today’s card is a continuation of my watercolor play. I didn’t want to put my watercolors away just yet, so I pulled out one of my all-time favorite sets and colored it.

CARD DETAILS
I heat embossed gorgeous floral cluster from the Beautiful Flowers stamp set in white embossing powder on Arches Cold Pressed watercolor paper. Next, I used Daniel Smith watercolors and a medium water brush to color this image. I’m sorry I don’t have the exact colors I used for you – I mixed my own colors by playing with some leftover watercolors I had on my palette.
I cut the cluster out with the coordinating die and popped it up over a Brass embossed Birthday sentiment. The cluster overlaps the sentiment quite a bit, but it is still legible.
I foam mounted the panel onto a Fluted Classics die cut that was adhered to the white card base. The size of this card isn’t a standard one, I started out by making a slimline card but later trimmed it as I didn’t need it to be that long. The card is 3 1/2″ by about 6″ long. The Fluted Classics die cut was easily altered to suit my card length by doing partial die-cutting.
I also embellished my card with Sparkling Clear sequins.
I’ve already given this and the two previous cards away. A good friend of mine and my God-Monther work in a local hospital and they both have grown accustomed to gifting a handmade birthday card to their co-workers, so they always ask me for more Birthday cards and help me deplete my card stash rather quickly.
Merry Christmas!
