Watering Can Die Focused Cards with Bobbi and Catherine

Hello friends. It’s Bobbi here with a floral card using the new Watering Can and coordinating dies and Lovely Lilacs stamps and dies. Both sets are easy to achieve desired results with their layered stamps. I am also using the Woodgrain Embossing folder and the Icing Border dies.

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped (using all the image layers) and die cut the water can and lilacs. I used Distress Oxide Inks for the stamping. Once they were dry, I added a little more “vintage” using my Copics. Here’s the list of colors I used:

Watering Can: Speckled Egg and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. I also used Copics in YR27, YR24, E57, E44 and #43 for the rusty spots.
Lilacs: Tattered Rose, Antique Linen, Scattered Straw, Saltwater Taffy, Gathered Twigs, Walnut Stain, Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn. I also used Copics in R22 and YG67.
Butterfly: Copics in R24, R22, R20 and Y21.

I hand drew the strip of woodgrain to create a ledge for the watering can to “rest” on. I colored it in E59, E57, E55, E43, E53 and W4. I assembled the watering can with the lilacs, adding a few foam tabs behind the front two lilacs to make them stand out a bit more from the background florals.

For the card front panel background, I used the Woodgrain Embossing folder on the top and three strips of the Icing Border dies at the bottom, allowing room for the woodgrain strip in between. I attached the watering can and added shadowing around the base using W6, We and W1 Copics.

Lastly, I added a small notecard to the floral bouquet. I cut a notecard to measure 1-1/2″ wide X 7/8″ tall when folded. I added more icing border die cuts to the front and then the butterfly from the Watering Can set.

Inside the notecard, I stamped the “Thinking of you” phrase from the Watering Can set. I stamped it twice masking the words to create a 2-line phrase to fit inside.

Hello Friends! Catherine here, sharing a watering can themed card with a beautiful bouquet of flowers!

To start, I die cut a piece of white card stock 4.25” x 5.5.” I ink blended the cardstock with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I then die cut the frame with Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies. I adhered the frame onto the background with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the watering can and butterflies from Watering Can Stamps and die cut with Watering Can Dies. I splattered some blue watercolor ink onto the watering can for texture.

Inks:
Pinks:  Altenew Blush, Hero Arts Cotton Candy, Hero Arts Bubble Gum
Yellows: Pinkfresh Lemon Whip, Sweet Mustard, Marigold
Oranges: Pinkfresh Peach Fuzz, Apricot, Clementine
Greens: Hero Arts Key Lime Fizz, Green Apple, Moss

To make the bouquet, I used the Timeless Tulips Stamps, Cheerful Daisies Stamps, and Spring Greenery Dies. I finished off the card with a tag from Stitched Arch Dies and a sentiment from Lovely Lilacs Stamps.
