Simon Says Stamp - Wild Rose

Hello my friends, I'm back to share cards made with the Wild Rose 6" x 8" stamp set from Simon Says Stamp In My Heart recent release. The release has lots of amazing products to inspire your creativity and you can check them all out HERE.

I love stamp sets with floral images and decided to have a little fun with watercolour techniques. 

 

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4" and stamped the largest image from the Wild Rose 6" x 8" stamp set, inked with Black Soot Distress Archival ink.

I coloured the image and background using colours from my Distress Watercolor Pencils palette with the wet-on-wet technique. The colours used are linked below.

I stamped the splatters from Simon Says Stamp Watercolor Bouquet stamp set inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

I stamped the sentiment on to Distress Black HeavyStock, inked with Versamark ink, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder, heat set, trimmed and fixed to the panel with Simon Says Stamp 3D Thin Foam Squares. 

I matted the panel on to Distress Black HeavyStock and fixed to an A2 white card blank.

Alternatively, leave the image white and watercolour the background instead.

I smooshed Salvaged Patina and Peeled Paint on to my media mat, spritzed with water and used to create a wash over the background.

I added splatters of Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Black Splatter Medium.

As before, I matted the panel on to Distress Black HeavyStock and fixed to an A2 white card blank.

Have a great weekend everyone whatever you have planned. Spring has definitely arrived in my neck of the woods and I'm looking forward to spending time in the garden. I'll be back to my share my DT project for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, in the meantime, have fun.

Stay True to Your Dreams

Hello my friends, Simon Says Stamp have just released In My Heart, a new collection of fabulous products to inspire your creativity. You can check out all the products from the release HERE.

I created a card using the Big Basket Weave Stencil, Scalloped Arches and Flower Bunny Wafer Dies and Stay True sentiments stamp set, all from the release.

I applied Bundled Sage and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide inks through the Big Basketweave 6" x 6" stencil on to an A2 panel of Distress Watercolor card using Mini Round Blending Tools, splattered with water and dried.

I die-cut the panel using the largest die from Scalloped Arches and die-cut an aperture using the 3rd largest die. I used the largest die to cut a white card blank and fixed the Scalloped Arch die-cut in place with Distress Collage Medium.

I used the 2nd and 3rd largest dies to die-cut a frame from Distress Watercolor card and fixed vellum behind the frame.

I inked the large words from the Stay True 4" x 6" stamp set with Versamark, stamped on to the vellum, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder and heat set.

I fixed the frame to the panel with Distress Collage Medium. I die-cut the Flower Bunny Wafer Dies from Distress Watercolor card, coloured with Distress Oxide inks using Simon Says Round Detail Blending Brushes and fixed to the frame with Simon Says Stamp Thin 3D Foam Squares.

I stamped the small sentiment from Stay True on to Distress Black Heavystock, inked with Versamark ink, sprinkled with White embossing powder, heat set and fixed to the bottom of the frame.

To finish I dragged the Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink pad over White Hemp Twine, tied in a bow and fixed to the top of the frame.

I'll be back soon to share more makes with products from the release. In the meantime, have fun with whatever you're making.

A Little Artsy - Thanks For Everything

Hello my friends, I'm back to share another card using the fabulous products from Simon Says Stamp A Little Artsy April 2026 card kit. You can check out all the products in the kit, subscribe if you don't already, purchase individual items from the kit or the add-ons available HERE.

I used the A Little Artsy 6" x 8" stamp set, A Little Artsy Stencil Set, 49andMarket Fresh Start Rub-On Transfers from the kit along with the Petal Lattice 6" x 6" Stencil which is an add-on purchase.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4", placed on my Stamp and Stencil Mat and applied Spun Sugar and Salvaged Patina through the Petal Lattice Stencil using Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Mini Blending Brushes and added 49andMarket Fresh Start Rub-On Transfers.

I applied Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink through the butterfly on the A Little Artsy 4" x 4" Stencil Set included in the kit and stamped the butterfly from the A Little Artsy stamp set slightly offset, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

I stamped the sentiment, splatters and stitching thread, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

To finish, I inked the edges of the panel lightly with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink, added splatters with the same ink, matted the panel on to Simon Says Stamp Cotton Candy cardstock and fixed to an A2 white card blank.

I'll be back tomorrow to share a make using products from Simon Says Stamp new release which launches tomorrow. In the meantime, have fun with whatever you're making.
