Hope your day is awsome

It’s time for another watercolour background panel to be transformed into a card. 😀

A few weekends ago I tried out this lovely Center Cut Heart background stamp from Simon Says Stamp heat embossed on fog grey cardstock and painted with my Gansai Tambi paints.

Card | Handmade by Natty | Simon Says Stamp Center Cut Heart Stamp
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp – Center Cut Heart, Avery Elle – Simple Sentiments
Dies: Simon Says Stamp – Deco Heart, Neat & Tangled – Skinny Strips
Other: Gansai Tambi paints

It was pretty fun just laying down all this bright colour – I really want to get better at using watercolours and seeing what I can get out of this particular paint set before investing in the next level. Practice, practice, practice…

To transform the panel into a card, I used the coordinating Deco Heart dies to create an aperture and cut the fancy heart from white cardstock for a bit of contrast.

All that was needed was a snazzy bright colour for the sentiment so I heat embossed the greeting on Azalea cardstock from Hero Arts and used foam tape for a bit of dimension.

It’s definitely got a summer vibe this card so I’m entering it in Simon Says Stamp challenge for June over on Instagram. 😀

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
