Hi friends! Thanks for popping by today! Please welcome back Yoonsun Hur as a special monthly guest! Read on and enjoy!

Hello crafty friends, it’s Yoonsun here with the second “Rejoice with Yoonsun” series!! Today I will be sharing with you a clean and simple watercolor flower card.

If you have circle shape dies, you can create an easy and fun background.

To start, I die cut white card stock to 5 ½” x 4 ¼” using the Basic Rectangles die, and then die cut assorted stitched circles from white card stock using the Stitches Circles dies as well. I then adhered circle die cuts on an A2 sized white paper panel using glue tape.

Next, I die cut Penny Black Playful Posies from watercolor paper, watercolored them with Distress inks and a wet paint brush. As you can see the picture, you can use negative piece when you color your thin die cuts. It’s quite handy!

For the sentiment, I used the Kristina’s Love stamp & die set.

Welcome to the blog my friends and Happy Saturday!  I’ve been playing with some paints… and oh what fun I had!

I started off with the Tim Holtz Etcetera Small Tag, it’s perfect for these types of projects. I coated it first with white gesso and then added torn pieces of Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap. From there I started finger painting with Dina Wakley’s paints in Blushing, Lime, Tangerine, Turquoise and White. This are a yummy combination of colors if you’re not sure where to start with paints!

Once the paints were dry, I cut out shapes to create a house and glued it in place on the tag. I painted it first then went back over with Distress Crayons Peacock Feathers, Peeled Paint, a little bit of Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo.

I used a couple stencils on the house to add some detail added a heart and edged everything with a black Stampers Big Brush pen. These pens are great for smudging and moving color around before they dry. For my splatters, I diluted some black gesso and tapped it onto the tag with a paint brush.

There are a few other details that I did for this project and I’ve filmed the complete process in 2 videos. You can view them below or on our YouTube channel here. Part 1 – Part 2.
