A gorgeous floral watercolour card made using Stampin' Up! products

Watercolour Art

Posted on by

Here is a sweet watercolour art floral card made using a lovely new bundle – Art Gallery stamp set and Floral Gallery Dies – which is coming in the January – June 2021 catalogue and will be available from the 5th January.

To recreate the watercolour art card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Gorgeous Grape – 3⅝” by 2½” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 3¾” by 2⅝” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜ by 3⅝ – Rounded upper right corner
Gorgeous Grape – 4” by ⅜”
Whisper White scrap

I started by stamping the ‘flower centre’ image in Flirty Flamingo ink all over the Flirty Flamingo card base to add a bit of texture to the card.

I flagged the ends of the strip of Gorgeous Grape card and glued it flat onto the card front.

Markers in Flirty Flamingo, Just Jade & Gorgeous Grape were used to colour in the gorgeous stamp from the Art Gallery stamp set. I then took a spritzer filed with water and sprayed the inked up stamp a couple of times. I then stamped the image onto the smaller panel of Whisper White, making sure to leave it on the card stock to let the ink soak in. Don’t you just love the effect this gives?

It took a couple of minutes for the ink to dry before I added the stamped layer to the Gorgeous Grape layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and die cut it out using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Floral Gallery Dies. It was added to the card base on Dimensionals.

I saw a Youtube video recently by a demonstrator called Tina Zinck, she did a great watercolour technique using the Sheltering Tree stamp set and I couldn’t wait to try it.

Making the Sheltering Tree card

I began by taking a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½”. I took a D sized clear block and pressed the Mango Melody ink pad onto half of the block to get a good covering of ink. I did the same to the other side of the block using Lovely Lipstick ink. Using a Stampin’ Spritzer I misted the inked up block with water and placed the wet block onto the Whisper White panel and left it for a couple of minutes for the ink to transfer.

The panel needs to dry before you can do anything else. I just set it to the side and left it but you can use your heat tool to speed the drying up. When it was completely dry I inked up the bare tree image from the Sheltering Tree stamp set with Early Espresso ink and stamped it to the left of the inked square. I also added the bird image from the High Tide stamp set in the Early Espresso ink to the top of the image.

From the Layering Squares die set I chose a square die slightly smaller than the inked square and die cut it out with my Big Shot. I stamped the sentiment from the Petal Palette stamp set in Mango Melody ink.

I layered the Whisper White panel onto a piece of Lovely Lipstick cardstock measuring 5½” by 3¾” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the whole piece to a Mango Melody card base using the same glue. I took the die cut square and placed it in the centre of the negative space with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the inside I took a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and stamped the tree on the bottom right corner and added it with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

This was my first attempt at this card. I didn’t get the inked block wet enough as you can see.
