Hi friends! I've been away too long! Gosh, last week was a real blur. I had a few projects up on the Simon Says Stamp Blog and also on the SSS Instagram, but my blog was kind of neglected! I wasn't feeling that great last week and I was also super busy. A bad combination. I got some rest the later part of the week and was renewed in spirit by time with friends, so I'm good as ever now. Today I'm sharing something really COLORFUL and fabulous and fun! I was invited by the lovely ladies at WPLUS9 to be their guest designer! What an honor! So, I'm posting here and also over on their blog called Stamp Away With Me! Please click over to see my post there too. I'm very grateful for the invitation. I'm a huge fan of the WPLUS9 stamps, dies and everything else. I finally got to meet Dawn, the owner of WPLUS9, in person at CHA this year too – I'm one of her YouTube video stalkers. She is amazing.

My card was made using the awesome Doodle Buds stamp set and matching dies. I used my Kuretake Zig clean color brush markers to watercolor in vivid hues. This card was a joy to create!
Here is a close up of the flowers. I started the process of making this card by stamping a bunch of flowers onto watecolor paper. Then I used my Kuretake markers directly on the watercolor paper. I quickly went back with some water and moved the colors around before it dried into the paper. Once everything was dry I went back with a white gel pen and added some highlight dots.
It was a lot of fun to figure out just the right layering configuration…I tried a lot first! If I could, I would have crammed even more flowers on there!
I have more details and explanation of my process over on the WPLUS9 Blog! Best wishes for a fantastic week ahead my friends! XOXO

What bright bold blossoms!
Beautiful card/flowers. I noticed you used the Tim Holtz distressed water color paper. I’ve had trouble using it with the Zig Clean Color brush markers. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong?
