Watercolor Wishes meets Grateful Bunch

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.

Stampin' Up! Watercolor Wishes and Grateful Bunch

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,

    Love your card but had trouble following which pieces were whisper white and which were very vanilla. Is the card base very vanilla and the mat/flowers whisper white or vice versa? I just happened to come across one of your cards on Pinterest, followed the link to find how you made the card and I LOVE all the cards you made. Thank you!

      Janice – I went back to reread the post and I agree it’s confusing. I’ve edited it now to make it clearer. Basically I made the flowers in whisper white and didn’t like how they looked with the card. Once I’d realised that I’d got whisper white flowers and a very vanilla card base, I redid the flowers in very vanilla and then it worked. So it’s all very vanilla. Thanks so much for asking so that I could make the post clearer for everyone. And thank you so much for taking the time to tell me that you love my cards. That just made my day. Liz x
