Today I'm sharing another couple of cards featuring my Rose Branch and Basil Leaves dies for Simon Says Stamp. This is one of several posts I have showing different ways to utilize these dies.
For this set of cards, the dies were cut from watercolor paper, and then watercolored with Kuretake Gansai watercolors. For the Rose Branch die cut, I used just one color. For Basil Leavess, I used several colors, a yellow, green, and blue-green. These were then set aside to dry.
Next, I cut two panels of watercolor cardstock. On the left, I simply wet a rectangular area with water and then added some black and just a bit of the same color I used for the Rose Branch.
Once the background was dry, I added a bit of gold splatter using my Kuretake Starry watercolors.
To complete the card, I adhered the stem and just a bit of the leaves directly to the watercolored panel using Bearly Art glue. The reverse sentiment strip was popped up with foam tape.
For the card on the right, I added water to the center of my watercolor paper panel and dropped the same colors that I used for the leaf into the wet areas. Then with a wide brush, I turned the brush so that bristles ran up and down and touched paint to the panel half in the wet areas and half out. This is what created those vertical lines.
Once the panel was dried, the Basil Leaves die was popped up with foam tape as was the reverse sentiment strip sentiment.
That's all for me today. Hope all of you in the states have a great long weekend!
