Hey friends!

OK first off about the email issue (which still isn't working - it's frustrating):

🚨FYI - For those that have signed up in the sidebar on the right here on my blog to receive e-mails whenever I post something new - SOMETHING isn't working. We're looking into it (and now that STAMPtember is over we can hopefully they to get this dealt with). I have no idea why it stopped working and hope to either get it fixed or figure out an alternative asap! That said I HIGHLY recommend y'all follow me on Instagram, and especially follow/join me on my Facebook page as I update those immediately every time I post something new (which is often!). And just like with everything (including my videos on YouTube) - the more you engage - commenting, liking, sharing etc - the more you'll see my content in your feeds. I am at the mercy of the algorithms and robot overlords with EVERYTHING to do with this job but I hope these tips help and I will continue to trouble shoot behind the scenes!🚨

Back to the post. I spotted an image a couple of weeks ago in one of my feeds and it STUCK with me. I let the ideas simmer until I came up with these cards. I was able to do some searching and found the artist - it's Katherine Blower and she has a Society6 page HERE with all her prints. LOVE THEM. SERIOUSLY. Check them out!

So here's what I made inspired by her prints:

I used a bunch of the new (and one older) Trinity Stamps products from their most recent release - which I did a Release & Review post and video on here if you missed it:

Trinity Stamps Autumn Gathering Release & Review! | September 2022

I had a ton of fun making these cards - check out my video below to see:

I don't have it yet (sometimes it takes a little longer to get to me) but I am sure it will be amazing! You will be able to check it out HERE when it goes live at midnight EST!

OK back to this post. I just got my hands on the new Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils:

There are 3 sets and you can get them individually or as a bundle HERE <-------click!

If you haven't seen Tim's video with allllll the info on these you can check that out HERE.

Here's the card I made:

I stamped Simon's Mom's Spring Flowers image onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock with Nocturne ink and then watercolored them with the Distress Watercolor Pencils. I added gold splatter, and die cut Simon's Matte Gold cardstock with the Bold Thanks wafer die and stacked it for dimension.

On the inside of the card I stamped the Mom's Spring Flowers image with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink, and then added a sentiment from the Extra Talkative stamp set and that was it!

Here's what I made with the Just Start stamp set:

I went bright and rainbow with this one! I white heat embossed the florals from the Just Start stamp set and colored them with my Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a water brush.

I ink blended the background over Simon's Dots on Dots stencil using Pawsitively Saturated inks and blending brushes. And added a ton of splatter as is tradition.

The sentiments are from Simon's Extra Talkative stamp set. I love the sentiments in the Just Start stamp set (such good ones) but I wanted larger sentiments for this card for a bolder impact.

I am REALLY enjoying coloring with my Karin Brushmarker Pro's lately - if you missed yesterday's post and video using them you can find that here:

EASY Watercolor with Karin Brushmarker Pros | SSS Black Eyed Susans

OK here's the card:

I stamped the florals from the Butterfly Ranunculus set onto Strathmore watercolor paper with Nocturne ink and heat embossed them with Wow's Clear Matt Dull embossing powder. I watercolored them with the Brushmarker Pro's and my Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pen. 

I ink blended some Distress Oxide inks over Neenah Desert Storm card stock and then ran the panel through my die cut machine with Simon's Geometric Lattice embossing folder. Annnddd added a bunch of splatter with Perfect Pearl powder mixed with water of course.
