Hey everyone!
So I'm playing catch up with all the things - one of which being the STAMPtember releases. If you haven't bookmarked my post with the pics and links to all the sets currently available you can find that here:
Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Limited Edition Releases!
Also last week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
You can see what the rest of the team created with these colors HERE <------click! and there's still time to play along with this one if you'd like!
Here's what I created:
I've been planning to use this Grateful Autumn stamp set by Memory Box for some time now, and then when I was looking at the colors for this challenge I knew this set was PERFECT for it. I also just got the Fresh Cut Bouquet set that is the Memory Box collaboration set with Simon Says Stamp for STAMPtember. The set and wafer die combo sold out but as of posting this there's still the stamp sets left (tho those will be sold out soon I'm thinking!). I wanted to ink up this gorgeous big floral (ugh I LOOOOVVVEEE big floral stamp sets lol - I'm so redundant with them I know but I can't resist!) and decided to paint them at the same time using all the same colors.
I stamped both images onto Arches cold press watercolor paper with Fallen Leaves VersaFine Clair ink. To color them in I used my Mijello Mission Gold watercolors, and once dry added a bunch of splatter of course. I added some gold splatter with one of the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors, and then to amp up the bling I added some Studio Katia Gold Sparkle Crystals.
To finish off the insides of the cards I inked up the big images from the Grateful Autumn and Fresh Cut Bouquet sets with a variety of Distress Oxide inks. After stamping them onto the insides of the cards I stamped sentiments from the Grateful Autumn set with the Fallen Leaves ink and that was it!
