Watercolor Bear Trio - Simon Says Stamp Rain or Shine Release

 Good morning! I'm back with a few more cards featuring some of the adorable and BRAND NEW Rain or Shine Release from Simon Says Stamp! This trio of cards in soft pastels just says SPRING to me - and I love it!


I love simple images to watercolor - and the adorable little bears in the new Rain or Shine stamp set were PERFECT! I also had a new watercolor palette that I hadn't yet put to good use, so I enjoyed pulling it out to play as well! I stamped the images on Watercolor paper using Nocturne ink - it's perfect for nice crisp images on the textured watercolor paper! I used my Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambai 24 color set to add color to the images, keeping the colors soft and pastel. I trimmed those panels down, added a colored cardstock mat behind each image with Sage, Honey, and Creamsicle cardstock. I used the Dotty Diamonds embossing folder to emboss some vellum, then tore those pieces in half to mount on the bottom edge of my white cardbases, before popping up my watercolored panels over the top with foam adhesive. Finished off with sentiments that I stamped in that same Nocturne ink, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder before die cutting with the coordinating dies! Finished off with a bit of sparkly glitter drops added on some areas of the designs - just enough to add some subtle shimmer! Here is a closer look at all these fun cards:
