Hi everyone, I'm loving this cherry tree stamp from Blossoming stamp set by Simon Says Stamp.
The tree can be coloured using any media and I was tempted to try easy and quick watercolours for today.
I love those little birds images too!! They are tiny ( no taller than 5mm) and in spite of being such a small element, they add extra cuteness to the card. They made me smile.
The stamp set includes 15 individual stamps (6 images and 7 sentiments). It is so beautiful! have a look ...
This card measures 6" x 4-1/2" inches.
I started by stamping the tree and birds on Arches watercolor paper using The Tim Holtz Stamping Platform and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.
Then, using a Nuvo water brush I activated the ink on the outline of the image and I spread it towards the centre of the image. As simple as that I added colour to the tree trunk and the flowers.
To add a little bit of contrast I applied yellow and green Arteza markers directly on the paper on some areas of the tree trunk and I blended the colour using the water brush.
To colour the flowers I used red, yellow and fuchsia markers to drop in colours over and I blended using the water brush as well.
The little birds were coloured in second using a yellow Arterza watercolour marker and a Nuvo water brush.
Once I finish adding colours I die cut the panel using Tonic Studios Mixed edge Rectangular die set so that I cut the pieces needed to made a framed composition.
I then stamped the sentiment in the central piece using Versafine Onyx ink. and the essential stamping platform.
I glued the frame piece on a piece of kraft cardstock using double-sided foam adhesive and then I glued the central piece in place and using Nuvo Deluxe adhesive I glued the panel on a white card base.
I embellished I used Nuvo Aztec Gold Glitter accents and Nuvo Butterfly confetti ( to be released soon).
I also made a matching envelope using the envelope punch board and a piece of gold paper I bought centuries ago to make envelopes and I stamped the tree on the envelope using Acorn Brown Nuvo hybrid ink.
That's all for today!
