Good morning! I’m back to share another card using products from the newest Simon Says Stamp release, Believe in You!
I love the new flower dies from the release and decided to use the Sunflower Stem to create a purply-pink daisy! I die-cut it from arches watercolor paper and used a little temporary adhesive to tape it to my glass mat. Then I watercolored it using mission gold watercolors. I let each layer dry before going back to add more color! Once I was done I let it dry completely and then curled up the edges of the petals and leaves slightly with my fingers.
While it was drying I stamped the Scallop background onto white cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I blended a little seedless preserves distress ink over the edges of the panel fading to paler purple a little off-center. I also stamped the sentiment from Clean Line Everyday onto white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder before trimming it down to a thin label. Once the flower was totally dry I popped it up on the scallop background with foam mounting tape and added the sentiment. It’s hard to tell in the photo but I also added crystal glaze to the center of the daisy for a little shine to finish the card!
Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Lovely card, Jess – I’ve been watercoloring on die cuts a lot recently and don’t even bother to adhere them to my glass mat using Tim Holtz watercolor paper and haven’t had any problems
So pretty, Jess! Love the different color choice!
