I used the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Love stamp set to create a quick watercolor card to share with you today.
My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #228.
The theme for my card was inspired by The Paper Players PP287.
And the colors for my card were inspired by Just Us Girls #335.
I started by stamping the flower image from the Timeless Love stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a panel of watercolor paper. I sprinkled the image with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.
I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless love stamp set in VersaMark Ink near the flower image and heat embossed it with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder as well. I wet the entire panel with just water and my Aqua Painter, then added a little Daffodil Delight ink and I moved it around until the background was lightly covered.
If you haven’t seen it yet, I did a video showing you some tips and tricks for watercoloring. You can see it here, I used several of the same techniques for this card.
I painted the flower images with my Aqua Painter and Blushing Bride, Wisteria Wonder, Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz inks. I let the panel dry completely, then added Clear Wink of Stella over the flowers (wish that it showed better in the photo…it’s really shimmery and pretty!).
I adhered the watercolored panel to a panel of Blushing Bride card stock with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then to a Wisteria Wonder card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added two of the Enamel Glitter Dots from the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit next to the sentiment to finish the card front.
I stamped the flower image from the Timeless Love stamp set in Basic Black Archival ink on two corners of a Very Vanilla panel, then watercolored the images with Blushing Bride, Wisteria Wonder, Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz inks on the inside of the card.

Ha – a clean sweep – three challenges!! Whoo-hoo. And beautiful card – love that floral spray from Timeless Love. Very nice, Amy! 🙂
Thanks Mary! I cheated a little on two of them…my design doesn’t match up perfectly with the sketch and I added a little green into the mix for the leaves. Don’t tell on me! 😉
This is so pretty…..beautiful spring colors! And your watercolor panel is the perfect backdrop!
Thanks so much Linda! 🙂
Sweet card Amy. I love the soft colors and the clean simplicity.

So elegantly bright and 3 sketches/challenges!! Wowzers 🙂 I LOVE the glitter enamel dots, was wondering why they sparkled and where you got them. Oh please, wouldn’t it be AWESOME to have these in the new catalog 😀
Thanks Jill! I agree, I’d LOVE to have some glitter enamel dots in the next catalog! 🙂
