It's not often that I publish two posts on the same day, but today is the last day of Less Is More's Watercolour challenge, and I have two cards I'd like to share. They were both made with the stamps from the Simon Says June Card Kit, "Favorite Flowers." One is a birthday card for a blogging friend across the Big Pond, and the other for a friend who is facing some very hard times right now.
I stamped and white embossed the whimsical flowers on Tim Holtz's watercolor paper, then watercolored them with my Peerless watercolors. They are quickly becoming my favorite watercolors. After cutting out the flowers and leaves, I partially inked the grid stamp (A Stamp in the Hand) on Neenah white cardstock, and stamped the sentiments.
I chose Plum Pudding paper and inks for this one (Papertrey Ink), and stamped a sentiment from Papertrey's "Birthday Style." Then I arranged the flowers and the Pretty Pink Posh sequins.
The cardstock for this card came from my stash, but is most likely Bazzill. The sentiment is from a relatively new Simon Says set called "Friendship Messages." I love the font. One requirement for the Less is More challenge is to leave plenty of white space. I think the subtle grid pattern qualifies for white space.
I'm also linking these up to the Simon Says Work It Wednesday blog.
