Stamp and Watercolor with Blue Knight's New Release Cattails and Lily Pads

Hello. I am excited to be posting several cards that I created as a design team member for Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Today's cards feature the new Cattails and Lily Pads stamp set. This stamp set includes three stamps: One large Cattails and Lily Pads scene, and two individual frogs.

Please check out my YouTube Channel for a video on how I made the cards featured on today's blog post:

For my first card, I stamped the Cattails and Lily Pads stamp with tuxedo black Versafine Ink onto a piece of paper from the Cloudy Sky Designer Paper. I then colored the image with Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencils. For this card, I water colored the lilies red. I mounted the finished panel on a piece of black cardstock and then adhered the matted panel to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").

For my second card, I stamped the Cattails and Lily Pads stamp with tuxedo black Versafine Ink onto a piece of watercolor paper. I then colored the image with Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor pencils (sets 1 & 2). Using the two silhouette frogs that are included in the stamp set, I stamped three frogs on the lily pads and the cattails. For this card, I water colored the lilies purple. I mounted the finished panel on a piece of black cardstock and then adhered the matted panel to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").
