Watercolor Spring Card

Hi, everyone! It’s Marge sharing a watercolor spring card which features Spring Wreath stamp set and Beautiful Butterflies stamp set.

To begin, I trimmed heavyweight watercolor cardstock into A2 size, then I placed negative diecut of larger Scallop Ovals Die on the center to mask it off. The outer space was filled with small images from Spring Wreath stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I watercolored all the images using my watercolor brush markers and I added gold and blue dots on empty space between images using pearl pens which I had bought at a local store.

Next, I stamped butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and Butterfly Friends stamp set on another watercolor paper, watercolored them and die cut them all using Beautiful Butterflies coordinating dies and Butterfly Friends coordinating dies.

Before stamping sentiment, I placed butterflies around the floral images first, then I stamped a sentiment from Thoughtful Greetings on the center using my Mini MISTI. In turn, I adhered butterflies on the same spots where I had placed them beforehand. I love how they look dimensional on the floral garden due to Square Foam Adhesives I used.

Finally, I foam mounted my panel onto A2-sized card base and then I  added Sparkling Clear Sequins, 4mm Ballerina Pink and 6mm Ballerina Pink Sequins around the scene using Micro Glue Dots.
