Beautiful...

   'Beautiful Flowers' stamp set from Simon Says Stamp appears to be a constant inspiration. This time I coloured it with Promarkers.

Sketched Ranunculus

   Promarkers are becoming one of my favourite ways to colour stamped images. The colours are vibrant and they blend easily. I reached for them again while creating these floral Birthday cards.

   I stamped my own little flower bouquet using Simon Says Stamp Sketched Ranunculus stamp set.

Flowery card

   Another beautiful 'Congratulations'card I created. The graduation season might be over but we can always find a reason to congratulate someone: wedding, engagement, newborn child or completing any difficult task. A card like this can add more flavour to any success.

Black and gold

   Some time ago I made this wonderful card for a colleague from work who was leaving. I stamped the flower image from Beautiful Flowers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and coloured it with watercolours. I decided to use blue and yellow for the flowers, as I believed that it would match the black background I had in mind. As the last step, I painted all the background deep black, creating the gorgeous contrast effect. To add a bit of interest I also splattered some shiny gold paint over my project.

Beautiful Flowers 2

   After the success of their Beautiful Flowers stamp set, people at Simon Says Stamp decided to produce the continuation- Beautiful Flowers 2 stamp set.

   I used the gorgeous images from that stamp set and watercoloured them, creating two pretty cards. In the second one, I coloured the background black to increase the contrast and dramatic effect.
