Simon Says Stamp | Messy Watercolor Floral Card. Video
Watercolor seems to be easiest (and prettiest) way to watercolor images these days, at least this is how I feel. I am also enjoying messy watercoloring where I don’t have to stay withing the lines and be afraid to mess up the project.
I’m sharing a floral watercolor card featuring a gorgeous Sketch Ranunculus stamp set designed by incredible Yoonsun Hur.

VIDEO TUTORIAL
I’ve filmed a video tutorial to show the creation of this card from start to finish. Watch my video below or on Youtube:
CARD DETAILS
I started by heat embossing ranunculus in white embossing powder onto Arches Cold Press Watercolor paper. I quickly colored them using my Gansai Tambi watercolors and cut the the flowers out with my scissors. Because of the design of these I was able to easily create a new flower-size by simply trimming the outer layers of the flower colored in pink.
I also stamped several images onto a watercolor panel using Simon’s intense black ink and again messy watercolored them. I was using my MISTI stamping tool and was able to double stamp the images to have a more darker black outline. I also double stamped the sentiment.
Watercolored and heat embossed flowers were shaped a bit and adhered in the center of my panel, I used glue and foam adhesive. I also stamped a number of smaller circles around the images to complete the background stamping and also added lots of clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and several clear droplets.
