Hello and welcome again! Today's card is sweet and simple, something you could whip up quickly if there's not a lot of time. I am only using one stamp set, an oldie but goodie from Mama Elephant called Pandamonium.
The great thing about this set is that it doesn't require you to color. Anything. Pandas are, by nature, black and white. So all you need, really, is a black ink pad which all of us will own and start stamping away. Of course, there's no limit to your creativity, so if you need pink or green pandas an ink pad is all you need. That's great for all of you who don't like coloring or simply don't have the time for it.
I embellished my card by die cutting a scalloped border and adding a few dots (I know you guys love them) and sequins for additional interest. But the main focus of the card are the cute critters that take no time at all to stamp.
Thank you for stopping by today, have a great day!

Watercolour Orchid
Hi there and a very happy Thursday! Lydia here with you today.
Today I'm sharing a very soft watercolour card with you.
I started by stamping the heat embossing the outline images from Altenew 'Oriental Orchid'. I stamped the bottom most flower first using the largest of the flowers from the set, I masked this flower and then stamped the same flower above this. I masked the second flower and stamped the medium flower above these, then masked this off so I could stamp the stem into place. Once the stem was stamped and heat embossed I then added in the buds to the top.
When I had the whole image heat embossed in white I used my watercolours to add colour. I added clean water to the part of the image and then just added colour to where would be darkest- the water does all the hard work of the blending.
I added a detail edge to my card layer using the small scallop from Lawn Fawn 'Stitched Scalloped Borders' and the little holes. The sentiment is from the same stamp set as the orchid.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
