Hello friends! Today I'm sharing another card featuring components from the June 2017 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. The kit has sold out but you can still create this card by using the stamp set (available for individual purchase HERE) and your own patterned paper and cardstock or by picking up the Wedding Bliss 6x6 Paper Pad and some Black Cardstock from Simon Says Stamp. I love the look of metallics on black cardstock and the large floral image from the Floral Bliss Stamp Set if perfect for watercoloring with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.
I trimmed down a piece of Black Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and stamped the large floral image from the Floral Bliss Stamp Set on both sides of the cardstock as shown using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The images were watercolored with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors and a wter brush pen. Once completely colored in, I set the background aside to completely dry.
I absolutely love the way this turned out. I often color my florals "true to life" but I am really digging this metallic image. This makes for a very elegant card perfect for not only weddings but anniversaries, birthdays, sympathy cards, and so much more. By switching out the greeting, this card design could be used for a multitude of occasions!
A greeting from the Floral Bliss Stamp Set was stamped on Black Cardstock using Versamark Ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder. I cut the greeting into a thin strip and adhered it to the center of a strip of script text paper from the Echo Park Wedding Bliss 6x6 Paper Pad. The strips were adhered over the center of the background panel with foam adhesive.
The design was finished with a scattering of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Metallic Copper Penny, Liquid Mercury, and Ivory Seashell and then rounding the corners of the card with a 1/2" corner rounder.
