Color Once, Make 2 Cards + Karin Marker Watercolor!

These bold and colorful cards feature the Simon Says Stamp So Beautiful stamp set! I wanted to no-line watercolor the floral images with Karin Markers, but we all know how time-consuming coloring can be. So to make the most of my time, I thought I would cut my colored image in half so that I can make two beautiful cards at once!

After trimming the colored florals in half, I also fussy cut around the outer edges. Peeking around the edge is a bright background that blended with Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron Distress Inks. I also added shimmery splatters with Prima Metallic Accents and Finetec Metallic Watercolors.

The encouraging greetings I used for each card come from the So Beautiful stamp and our exclusive, Reverse Gratitude sentiment strips.

Inside the cards I continued the encouraging theme by adding sentiments from our Inside Friendship Messages set. This set has great, heartfelt messages that can be stamped on the inside for an extra-special touch.

I plan on mailing these lovely cards in our Simon exclusive Blue Violet and Soft Navy mini slimline envelopes. The colors coordinate perfectly with the watercolored florals.
