Good Sunday morning all! I thought I would share another card I made using some of the April die release. It's a rather clean and simple card, but I liked it! I have been playing with the new Watercolour inks and I'm loving them! I used
Lime Sherbert and Jade Sparkle Pearlescent Watercolour inks here randomly on the card and then spritzed lightly with water to spread them a bit more. These do need a bit of time to dry though as they have been designed to have a long open time so you can move them around. Once dry, I stamped the corner with the
Elemental Swirl stamp in black. From the
Bold Shadowed Friend Die/Stamp Combo set, I stamped the sentiment "Amazing" and mounted it just above where I cut and added the word Friend to the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, well you have hit the nail on the head with the sentiment 'AMAZING' the new inks are such lovely colours and are a perfect backdrop to the stamp and dies, love it.

Hi Sue and blog family. This is beautiful. It looks so quick and easy with an amazing end result, I really wish I'd got just a tiny amount of your lovely talent, I always seem to over think and complicate things when really my greatest love is easy and beautiful. Sending love to all that visit xxx

ReplyDeleteGood morning everyone we have a beautiful clear blue sky and sunshine even if it still on the chilly side, to go with the great weather we find this fabulous card from Sue, I love playing around with inks and watercolours you just never know what you are going to end up with, I love this blend and how the stunning flourish enhances the corner, sometimes simple can be just as striking, if not more so, as all elaborate cards.

Hi Sue. I had to smile when I saw this card today with it's bright, pretty colours. Despite the fact that you are so well known for your dies and die cut creations, you have only used one very small die on this card which lets the lovely inks do all the talking.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteA beautiful vibrant clean and simple card. Gorgeous colours and I love the swirl stamp too to accompany your new set.
Love Helen xxx
I too love the watercolour inks and have recently purchased ‘a few’ ahem! Put it this way, my mum bought me a door mat that says ‘Please hide parcels from the husband’ !!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, they do make lovely, unique backgrounds that require little else for a stunning card. They’ve even inspired me to try my hand at painting which is so therapeutic!
Thanks Sue for all your ideas, designs and inspiration. You’ve brought card making to a whole new level.

Wow!! Amazing watercoloured panel, so vibrant and full of interest! Love the contrast with the back of the swirls and the beutiful sentiment!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful CAS card and I love the background. The colours of the Pearlescent Watercolour inks are gorgeous and although you have only used two it looks like more the way they have blended.
ReplyDeleteFrances
I think this card is striking. Those swirls are fantastic. I am going to go back over the entire launch as I may have missed something. We had a bit of family emergency going on and I was quite distracted.
ReplyDeleteEveryone, have a wonderful Sunday,

Love the colours on this card, and the card of course, it makes the black stamps really stand out.
ReplyDeleteLove this colour combination & the simplicity of the card. I have a similar stamp to this (if it’s not the same one) but unfortunately no alcohol inks. Will have to try & improvise. Thank you Sue.

Love the background, the colours are beautiful, simple but stunning..luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteI appreciate a clean and simple card, especially one that looks like you spent time creating a beautiful card. Creating with watercolor is always fun! Playing with watercolors to have a stash of card bases makes a clean and simple card a fast card too. Who doesn’t love the ability to do a clean, simple and fast card!
