SSS Best Day Ever

Hello crafty friends!
Today I want to share a couple of watercoloured cards with you using two of awesome background stamps from Simon – Center Cut Kaleidoscope and Center Cut Star.

For my first card, I used the Center Cut Kaleidoscope background stamp and the Best Day Ever die as my main supply. I heat embossed Center Cut Kaleidoscope (I took out the middle part of the stamp) on watercolour paper using WOW! Embossing Powder Opaque Vanilla White, and then trimmed it down using the Basic Rectangle Panel die. Next, I watercoloured the stamped panel with Pinkfresh Studio Liquid Watercolors.
I die cut the word “Best day ever” from metallic gold paper. Once the background panel was completely dry, I mounted it on Schoolhouse Red card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment die cuts on the centre of the card front using foam tape.

For my second card, I used the Center Cut Star background stamp and the Miss You die as my main supply. I repeatedly heat embossed Center Cut Star ( I only used central part of the stamp) on watercolour paper panel in white, and then inked each of the stamped star using some Distress inks: Candied Apple, Mermaid Lagoon, Fossilized Amber, Seedless Preserves, Crushed Olive, Victorian Velvet. I brushed the inked panel using a wet paint brush.
