Zigs No-Line Watercolor Pears + Organic Fruits by Simon Says Stamp

Happy Saturday! today I made a card and a tag to share ideas using the new Organic fruits Stamp set by Simon Says Stamps.

Organic fruits is a 6×8 inches stamp set.
It contains 20 individual stamps.
Ideal to create quick stamped projects as with the bold stamps you can easily fill up the image with colour.

Watercolour Pear Card

First, I stamped the outline image of the pear and leaves from the Organic Fruits stamp set using Antique Linen Distress Ink on Arches watercolour paper.
Then, I applied colour using Kuretake Clean Colour Real Brush Pens ( Zigs) blending the ink pens with a water brush.
Once the colouring was done, I used the water brush to spread the ink of a Zig Grey Blue Marker on the white spaces in the background.
To finish, I die-cut the panel using Wonky Rectangles and I applied Black Sooth Distress Ink around the edges using a blending brush.
Using a white gel pen I added white dots and lines here and there.
I added a backing piece made out of white cardstock and I glued this onto a top folding C6 card base.
To embellish I glued over the panel premade Nuvo gold Glitter drops.

For this tag, I stamped the pear using Versafine Black Onix ink on Arches Watercolor Paper Ink
Then, I added colour using Zigs.
Using a white gel pen I added white dots and little lines over the image.
Next, I die-cut a tag out of Neena Solar Crest 80Lb using a die from Nested Tags.
I stamped the pear image and leaves directly on the tag using Versafine Black Onix ink.
To add dimension, I simply fussy cut the pear from the watercolor paper and I used dimensional foam pads to adhere it to the tag.

To add colour to the images on my projects today, I used the same marker colours.
Starting by applying light green, then mid-green, and a hint of brown and dark brown from the edges to the center of the images.
I added yellow at the very end to add some light, and I also added a little bit of dark green ( no in the picture) here and there to add some vibrancy.
The dark green marker colour will blend with water creating a very intense green shade! Beautiful.

Although here in the UK we celebrate Mother’s day in March, I know in many countries is celebrated this weekend!!!

Happy Mother’s day!

That’s all for today.
I hope you enjoyed this post.
Happy Crafting.
