Good morning! Today I'm moving on from birthday cards, but you might notice a similarity between yesterday's and today's cards? These cards also feature a plain focal image, with background color to make them pop! The main difference is that these use watercolor instead of ink blending to add the color. And how sweet is this stamp set from Simon Says Stamp?!?!?
I started off by stamping my main images from A Mother's Love on panels of watercolor paper. I pulled out my Altenew watercolors, and carefully added a wash of color around the images, doing my best not to get any color on the images - but not worrying about perfection either! I faded it out to a soft edge, and added a bit of shading and blending of extra colors. I masked out the images by setting the clear stamp over the top (a quick easy trick!) and mixed some Sparkle Gold Paste with a bit of water to add some soft splatters to the background. While that all dried, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiments, stamping in white pigment ink, then embossing with white powder for a nice crisp image on the black cardstock. Those were added with tiny bits of foam adhesive strips for just a touch of dimension! Here is a closer look at these two sweet cards:
