WPlus9 flowers to warm you up!

Hi everyone… Happy Sunday! It’s Shari here with some Springtime inspiration for you… I’m ready for it, are you?

I’ve used the WPlus9 Doodle Buds stamp set to create a little ensemble around a greeting. These whimsical flowers can be stamped and stacked in an arrangement or used with the provided stems and leaves to create a bouquet.

To start this card out, I used Peacock Feathers Distress ink to watercolor a background wash, just enough to to create an anchor for the message along with the flowers. Then I used some bright colors of Distress inks to watercolor my flowers, then die cut and fussy cut to add to my card. Of course I used some foam tape for added dimension!

  1. This is such a pretty card! Your video is so helpful too as I was wondering how to achieve that subtle background watercolour effect. I’m raring to go now and am looking forward to the online watercolour card class that starts tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll be ordering more supplies from SSS very soon!

  2. LOVE your card..so gorgeous…!
    great video!
    (how are you how is your leg /foot now?..saw you on the CHA photo’s…)

  3. What a sweet card -love this set and the samples on the store page!! Does anyone know what set the little bird came from on the last sample on the store web page? Thanks for the chance to play : )

  4. A lovely card, Shari. I recently used a Wplus9 stamp set, and was impressed with the quality of the product. Even though I enjoyed the bright colors on your card, I don’t understand why others do not enjoy the beauty of the winter season. It is still January, and where I live, we will be experiencing at least two more months of this unique splendor.

  5. Real beauties Shari. We are in sunny California so I am seeing some flowers. A lot of folks have their Christmas poinsettia sitting outside now. Spring can’t be far away!

  6. I have that set on my wishlist–just love it every time I see it used! Your card has now added to my list of reasons I “need” to buy it! Thank you for the breath of sunshine today!

  7. Delightful card, Shari! Love the pretty colors! I always look forward to Sundays so I can see what fun you have for us on the SSS blog! Wish they’d have you share more here! (Art Journaling again?)

  8. What a gorgeous card! I love the Doodle Buds set from W Plus 9…it’s so versatile. Thank you for the inspiration!!

  9. This looks easy enough that I can try it Sheri. I have yet to really try the watercoloring, but this sure gives me a push to do it. Thanks for sharing.

  11. Love this, Shari. It’s a simple card that really packs a punch. I love the single color wash in the background- want to try that soon.

  12. Lovely card, Shari! The coloring is beautiful and those flat sequins add just the right finishing touch.
