If you’ve already been hopping along with us in the Cherished release blog hop, you should have arrived here from my talented friend Shari’s blog!
Today I am featuring some of our newest stamps and dies sets, along with a wet on wet watercolor technique, and tips for creating a no-bulk floral arrangement. With lots to share today, let’s get started!

First let’s talk about the wet-on-wet watercolor technique; I used this to paint the floral images from the Summer Flowers and More Spring Flowers stamp sets.

Because I wanted these images to have a no-line styled appearance to them, they are stamped with colored dye inks . I used these shades of Simon inks for the stamping:

Wet-on-wet watercolor is a technique in which you apply wet pigment onto wet paper. I started by applying a layer of water onto each section of an image I was coloring. I then added wet watercolor pigment into the areas I planned on being darkest; as I dropped the watercolor into the wet paper, the pigment began to spread. The water layer is basically absorbing the pigment.
[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”10″ bottom_margin=”10″ border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_text]
As the water absorbs the pigment, the watercolors will soften the further away they travel from their origin of placement. Results will vary depending on many factors such as:

The amount of water you apply down.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]
How wet the pigment was when applied to the wet paper.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]
Temperature. Warm climates may notice the water absorb into the paper faster. If you notice this, try working smaller sections at a time.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]
The type of paper you are using. I used Canson cold press paper here and this paper absorbs the water a bit faster than hot press paper. I have used Arches’ hot press paper with this technique before; there is a difference in looks because the water travels differently on hot press paper. I personally prefer the cold press.

Once I dropped the watercolor into the wet paper, I began to help move the pigment further down across my image with a clean, damp brush. This helps the colors fade more smoothly and evenly. In the painting of these florals, I did a lot of wet-on-wet-watercoloring, as well as some wet on dry when I came in with additional layers on top of my first layer of color.
It’s fun to see where the water travels with the wet-on-wet technique. It can at times be a bit unpredictable; however the more you work with the technique – and watercolors in general – you’ll find that it can be controlled a little. For the coloring of these florals, I used Winsor and Newton watercolors.

The background of this card is something I was very excited about! I especially love using borders dies for this technique of creating a see-through die cut card base. The result of the technique and this Floral Sparkle border die together is a delicate – almost lacy – appearance.
I cut the die into an A2 card base made from Ivory cardstock. This cardstock from Simon is 100lb, so it holds up to the delicacy very well. I’ve done this technique before, most recently with 80lb cardstock, which also held up well.

I really like how the soft, lacy feel of the card base goes so well with the soft coloring of the floral images! Together, they help carry the mood of the card perfectly.
To finish off the card, I kept it simple and added a heat embossed sentiment from Simon’s Thankful Heart stamp set onto a strip of Kona Koffee cardstock.

Oh my goodness that technique looks amazing. Thanks I’m going to have to try it. I also really love your adorable panda, I’m going to have to purchase that one and get to creating.
Very pretty card! Loving this new release.
Great inspiration and stamps!
Love the wet-on-wet card! It is so delicate looking with the background you created and the floral arrangement is beautiful!
Wow, this back ground and your colouring are amazing. Love them too much.
Great card and colors. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Linda D.
This is just gorgeous Nina! Love the watercolored flowers but that die cut background is amazing!
Nice card! Very colorful.
Love the colors and techniques used. The layering gives dimension. Very beautiful cards.
Hi Nina,
Thank you for sharing your lovely cards…
Your watercolor flowers are just so beautiful! Love the tip on creating a background from just an edger die. And so glad to see I’m not the only one who uses just double sided tape on all the pieces to create the dimensional effect. I would never think to put it over the lacey looking background you created. I would think though to maybe make the inside a different color to show through. So many ideas. Thanks.
Congratulations on your wonderful stamp set. I love this wet on wet technique…very pretty results.
I love, love your card! Thanks for all the tips on watercoloring the flowers. TFS
Love your beautiful, colorful cards. Thanks for doing a video for those of us who need to “see” what is being done to get such great results.
Such a beauty!
Very beautiful coloring and love the other card too. Congrats on your stamp set!!!!!
Your card is beautiful Nina – I never thought to use a background die in this manner and can’t wait to try it – it makes your card front look almost lacy, which is perfect with the water colored flowers. Thank you for the great vide and the wonderful ideas!
Wonderful card! Love the colors!
The lace look you created with the die is beautiful as are the color of the flowers!
Beautiful card!
Beautiful card and I love the layering! Your coloring is wonderful. Thanks for the great video!!
SQUEAL!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Sweet Card and the New Release!! THANKS for sharing the Video too and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
Hi Nina ~ There are so many things to love about this new release from SSS and the dies/sentiments that you chose to use on this card are at the top of my list. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring….can’t wait to get my hands on some of these goodies! ~HUGS~
#kindnessmatters
Awesome card! Lots to look at!
I wasn’t worried about the stickiness of the adhesive going through to the inside, I was more worried about any writing on the inside showing through the front. I guess you have the section behind the flowers! Sure is pretty though!
Beautifully colored card…you are such a pro!!
Beautiful card. Love the sunflower.
A beautiful watercolour bouquet! The Floral Sparkle die background is gorgeous!
Absolutely georgeous card!!! I love it so much and will be attempting this technique very soon. Thank you for sharing.

Such a refreshing and bright card! Very pretty.
This is such a stunning card! The coloring is beautiful
Nina Marie, I especially enjoyed this video…..I think because you not only did the watercoloring, but because you included the die cut background that you created. I liked that. This release is spectacular; I’m sure you’re enjoying playing with all the new, fun projects.
Very pretty. Love the diecut background.
You’re coloring is stunning! I’ve never heard of the kind of water coloring you are talking about and I don’t have any water color paper but I might have to get some. I also will have to watch the video so I can try what you did. You also used my favorite color, yellow, in your card and that makes me happy. I love to water color and today I make a water colored card for a lady friend of my mom’s who is going to be 90 tomorrow. It was fun! Thanks for showing us your pretty card with the stunning background. I love it! Thanks also for giving us a chance to win something.
Your card is so beautiful. Such a great release.
WOW so lovely. Love the whole look with eyelet decor.
Delightful card and wonderful water coloring!

Hi Nina,
Loved the video and the card is GORGEOUS!!!! However, the big stamp that you colored as a leaf is actually a flower called Bird Of Paradise. It is indigenous of South Africa, ranging the colors from yellow, orange and bright blue and it is considered an exotic plant.
Thanks for the awesome techniques!
Cariños,
María Alba
While I am. It daisy crazy, I can apply the techniques you demonstrated to lots of other flowers. The release is just wonderful.
Gorgeous card, I love the colors. Great video too!!
Love your card! Using the die for the background adds such amazing texture to the card. :)
