I bought the Watercolor Wishes card kit a while back and put it to one side to wait until I put a class together to do it. One of the great things about this kit is that it’s all inclusive – as in the stamp set is included. I recently pulled out the stamp set and started playing with it. The sentiments are really pretty.

I had cut this piece of DSP in mint macaron from the Pretty Petals stack a while ago when I was doing a sketch challenge but this one was put to one side. I recovered it from my “save for later” pile and decided it was time to continue. This card is actually the cause of the card that I shared yesterday because I was stamping and punching out the flowers from Grateful Bunch in both melon mambo and watercolour wonder. I love the way that both the stamp and the blossom bunch punch can create three flowers at a time. I decided that the watercolour wonder went best with the mint macaron but I didn’t quite like the overall combination of colours. Then it hit me that I had used whisper white card for the flowers and the DSP and base were very vanilla. Once I’d remade the flowers in very vanilla, I was happy. It also means that I have a few more flowers sitting on my desk asking to be used.

Once I had all the pieces ready for construction, I put the DSP in the right place and first stamped the Thanks (isn’t that a great typeface?) in watermelon wonder. Stamping completed, I glued down the DSP and then glued down 2 of my flowers, popping up the third. The very vanilla layer was then glued to a very vanilla card base. Once that was done, I added the pearls to the centres of the flowers. The envelope is lined using more of the same paper so that it coordinates.

See you tomorrow,
