In today's video I create super easy watercolored card with the beautiful A Rose Stamp Set from Picket Fence Studios and Tombow Dual Brush Pens!

Easy Peasy Watercolored Roses

To create this card I first stamped a sentiment from the Small Ways to Say Thanks Stamp Set in the center of an A2 panel of Bristol smooth paper in Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I then stamped the rose from the A Rose Stamp Set on all fours corners of the panel, using the pattern stamping technique to make it quick and easy!

Next, I quickly and loosely colored in the roses with Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Once I had colored all the flowers I then spritzed them with water to activate the ink. Then with a paint brush I moved some of the watered-down ink beyond the edge of the flower to color in some of the white space.

Once I had finished coloring the flowers, I then allowed the panel to completely dry and then adhered it to an A2 top-folding white card base. I then finished the card by adhering some iridescent sequins from the Gin & Tonic Sequin Mix.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and video! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Big Thanks

I really liked the Simon Says Stamp Plank Background stamp.  I thought it would work well for those masculine cards that totally suck to make.   You read that correctly.  When I sit down to make a masculine card, my mind shuts down and I start to panic.   The Concord & 9th Big Thanks Die made it easy this time.   I was really looking to make more masculine birthday cards and the Thanks card was a happy addition to the design.

I looked through my dies to see what happy die I could find and came across the Concord & 9th Happy Frame Die set.  Sadly, it has been retired from Concord & 9th's website, but I did find it for sale here and here.  So if you want to make this card, order fast.   

I do need to give credit to Kristina Werner for the color combination she posted here.  One of the things I struggle most is thinking of original color combinations.  

This was a super fast card to make and I hope you enjoy the video.  Don't forget to hit the like and subscribe buttons.

Picket Fence Studio Peacock Tail Stencil

Today's card was fun to make.  It was like icing cupcakes.   I love using glitter paste.   When I was making a plan in my head to use the Picket Fence Studio Peacock Tail Stencil, I knew I wanted to use glitter paste or gel.  The difficult part was to decide what colors to use.  That is when my squirrel syndrome sets in.

 I ended up swatching out all my glitter pastes and gels.   I settled on three different colors: Bo Bunny  Wasabi, Bo Bunny Caribbean, and Gina K Turquoise Sea.  Look at the picture below to see how all those colors meshed together. 

For an easier and faster version of the card I used Distress Oxides:  Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, and Mermaid Lagoon.   Of course,  a card is not complete without a little bit of bling.  So I sprayed the cards using a mix of Inkon3 Liquid Pixie Dust.   Don't confuse that with Pixie Spray that is used on stencils for temporary adhesive. 

My sentiment is from Picket Fence Studios Let's Shake Our Tail Feathers stamp set.   My card bases are on Gina K Key Lime cardstock.
