Fly Me Away, Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit

When I opened the June Card kit was I was so excited as I pulled each of the supplies out. This kit is chocked full of goodies!! I started to use ALL THE THINGS, but then I was just drawn to the beautiful 6×8 exclusive stamp set, Beautiful Flowers the most.

I was in a watercoloring mood and decided to play a bit with these gorgeous florals. The card kit gives you an exclusive Daniel Smith Watercolor Palette with some primary colors that you can mix and match. I pulled out the set of Daniel Smith Watercolors that I own and watercolored with those. I only used 4 colors for all three cards.

Instead of doing my usual, no-line watercolor, I decided to play around a bit more loosely with the watercolors.  I used a stamp positioner to stamp my image in Versafine Onyx Black, a couple times and then quickly embossed the images with Detail Clear Embossing Powder.

Next, I used a very wet paintbrush and laid water down all over the petals, even going out of the lines a bit. I brought some of the Daniel Smith Watercolors into the water and let it move around. I let the color sit and dry and worked elsewhere until I could see how it would look when dry, then I chose to either layer more color on or let it be.

I only used 4 colors (a 5th, the Paine’s Gray on the drippy one) throughout all the cards.

It really was so much fun coloring these and I know when I play with this set with different coloring mediums I am going to get totally different looks. I also love the sentiments that come with the set!

I hope you enjoy these cards and find them inspiring for when you get your kit!
