Beautiful You with a simple watercolor
One of my all time favorite stamp sets is Beautiful You! I love the way the ladies are drawn in this stamp set! The sentiments are fabulous as well. I love that they give you the option of coloring in the stamps or using the sketchy watercolor looking stamps. This lends to lots of different looks that you can achieve.
Beautiful You Stamp Set
I adore how this set is classic yet modern!
One of my favorite things to do is watercolor with Stampin’ Up! ink refills. It is a quick way to add some color to your card. It is also fun to watch how the ink reacts with each other and water. I have not watercolored much lately, so I was ready to relax and watercolor!!!
- I love this clean and simple layout paired with the classy lady.
- The watercolor panel is shimmery white cardstock. On the shimmery white stamp the image in Archival Basic Black. Then use your aqua painter and ink refills to watercolor the image.
- For the watercolor I used pool party, tranquil tide, and lemon lime twist
- The dress is watercolored in pool party. Then I dropped in tranquil tide and let the watercolor do its thing. The umbrella is done the same way, but lemon lime twist with pool party and tranquil tide dropped in
- The watercolor panel is popped up with soft sky and stampin’ dimensionals
The paper is all new in the Holiday Catalog (Available Sep.1) , Painted Autumn. This paper is full of beautiful fall designs and coordinating patterns.
The ribbon, lemon lime twist ombre ribbon, is also a new products. It made its debut in the 2017 Annual Catalog!
The card is a 4 bar size. Stampin’ Up! makes some wonderful notecards and envelopes in this size. Unfortunately, I was out of very vanilla. It is quite easy to make this size of card! Though I do recommend the Stampin’ Up! set. Because, you get the coordinating envelope!!! And you can decorate the envelope flap with the dsp! How cute !
To make my card base use Thick Very Vanilla paper. Cut it so that it is 5 by 7. On the 7 inch side score and burnish at 3 1/2 inches. There is a soft sky layer that is 3 3/8 by 4 7/8. The next layer is made up of two panels one dsp that is 2 1/8 by 4 3/4. And tranquil tide that is 1 1/8 by 4 3\4. These two layers my overlap just a bit! That’s okay. It will be covered by ribbon. The next layers are the watercolor panels. The soft sky is 3 1/8 by 2 1/8. The watercolor layer is shimmery white 2 by 3
