Better With You

May 26, 2019

Better with you by Teneale Williams | Stampin' Up! Watercolour bird card

Confession. I have an addiction  a “wellness” to flowers, butterflies, birds and flourishes in stamp sets, that leads to me buying them….all and sometimes don’t use them all immediately. I am sure some can relate, this stamp set “Better With You” was one I ordered straight away after seeing in the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue, but kept putting off using it because I wanted to take my time to make something beautiful with it. I wanted to sit and enjoy watercolouring this stunning illustrated bird.  I don’t often say this but I feel like I made the wait worth it. I adore this card, maybe because I stepped outside my normal colour range. I mean, I used Pacific Point! A colour I have not used in years.

The design of the card used this weeks INKspired sketch that created for my team, the INKspired Artistes. I am excited to see how everyone used the sketch and if they noticed the panels on the lower half of the card.

INKspired Sketch

What do you think? It is much brighter than I normally do, I have used Pacific Point, Balmy Blue and Cajun Craze, with a little Crumb Cake. The background diamonds use a stamp in the same set as the bird, which I have clear embossed.

I watercoloured on White Shimmer cardstock, this is my favourite watercolour stock, I wanted an organic and even ruff-ish watercolour look.

For the panelling on the sketch, which at first I was questioning why I added that to the sketch but after having a look through my die stash I decided to use the large greeting from Merry Christmas Dies.  The sketch has a scallop under the middle layer and I decided to have a ripped edge over the scallop.

Sorry, the photo is not the greatest of the inside and I went to not show it but felt you may like the see it anyway. I have stamped the diamonds and carefully watercoloured them, I say “carefully” as the dye ink I stamped with can run.
