Hello from Scotland! Welcome to my blog and to Simon Says Stamp Crafty Hugs Release Blog Hop Details – Day 2.
Today I’m sharing ideas using the new background stamp Center Cut Hexagon Floral.
You can explore Complete Crafty Hugs release here!
Center Cut Hexagon Floral it is a beautiful 6×6 background stamp made out of red rubber and you can remove the center for more stamping possibilities.
Although the pattern in the stamps is not intricate, for some reason I associated the background image with the designs of Willow Pattern in China plates!
Miss You Card
To add color, I only used Royal Blue Karin Marker.
You can see a 30-second video on my Instagram hereto see how I applied colour!
- I first heat embossed the image on Arches 300 grams watercolor paper.
- You can use different embossing powders colors. I used WoW Gold Rich Ultra Fine.
- I used a Nuvo synthetic brush to apply water over the small flowers ( although these brushes aren’t great for watercolor, I chose it because it doesn’t hold loads of water and this helped me to apply just the right amount of water over the paper)
- Then, I just dabbed the marker tip on the base of each tiny petal.
- The ink got blended with the water creating a watercolor effect.
- I use the clean and semi-dry brush to help out to spread the ink a little bit more evenly.
- I cleaned the brush every time it got inked so that I avoid getting solid washes of color.
- I didn’t aim for perfection but just to add a very quirky and irregular wash of color.
For the sentiment, I used CZ Miss You wafer die.
I die cut the sentiment out ofgold mirror cardstock and I die cut vellum for the backing panel.
To adhere the sentiment to the panel, I cut in half a couple of small square double-sided foam adhesivesand stuck them behind the fonts so that they cant be seen in the front of the card.
Praying For You
I couldn’t resist trying a different layout using a monochromatic panel like this one so here is another idea.
- I used Crocus Flowers wafer die and the sentiment is from Sentiments Stripes Reverse Love.
- I added Fashion Gold Embellishments.
- To be able to add dimension to the flower, I didn’t remove the leaves die-cuts and the tiny die cuts in the flower center so that I could place double-sided foam adhesive behind.
Check out more inspiration using Crocus Flowers Wafer Die here!
Bonus Project
I also wanted to do something a bit different for you today so I made a little tag!
This time I also used Cerise and Touruqoise Karin Markers to add colours to the flowers.
I stamped lilac cardstock using Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.
The sentiment is from Tiny Words Encouragement Stamp Set.

I love your china-inspired blue cards, especially with the shiny gold die cuts. Stunning!
Stunning!
A common thread is the emotional reaction to your coloring and composition by viewers of your work. A lot of us thought of china patterns. The gold was a nice touch but for me it was the way you colored the pattern and choice of color. I love both this stamp and china I collect. Visually your work is stunning but also, as you can see by viewer statements, sparks such positive emotions. Great job!
This stamp might be my favorite! I love the blue/gold combo and your coloring is wonderful!
Gorgeous hex floral design! Love the coloring!
I love your cards and tag! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, your cards are so beautiful!!!
What a beautiful delft tile card! I often see you add gold touches to your cards and the touch of bling makes the entire design even better.
These are so pretty! Even before I saw the photo with the bowl in it, I thought that this looked like China. Just so pretty!
This is so stunning!! I love that blue!! I just bought the Karin Markers and can't wait to play with them!!!

The blues with gold foil are my favorite- just like delicate bone China teacups! Thanks for contributing your creative talents on the hop!
Your cards are gorgeous! I did not know that you live in Scotland, but when I first looked at your cards I thought, "Those look so European." Ha! Guess I was spot on!! 🙂
Agree with others that the gold accents make the cards so elegant!
Love how you used the gold cardstock die cuts on your cards. They're just beautiful!
