It’s time to play at Pals Paper Arts! The talented Nicole Watt has a sketch for us this week, which I felt would be perfect for showcasing a watercolored spray of flowers. So once again, I pulled out aqua painters, blender pens, and inks, and created this card using the Indescribable Gift stamp set. Enjoy!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 5″ x 5″ square.
- Watercolored blossoms! The flowers were watercolored with Blender Pens, Wisteria Wonder, Plum Perfect and Pink Pirouette inks. Always Artichoke and Crumb Cake inks were used for the stem and leaves. A white Signo Gel Pen was used to accent the centers. For a touch of bling, sequins with pearls were added. The circle was watercolored using Aqua Painters and Pink Pirouette ink.
- A beautiful bow! Sahara Sand Lace was used to create this double bow. A few strategically placed Glue Dots hold the tails of the bow in position.
- Dream! The single word sentiment, “Dream”, is from the Think Happy stamp set. This set, along with the Naturals White cardstock used for this card, is on the retiring list.
I love this sentiment, and am sad to see this set is retiring. We all need our dreams…even little Boxer puppies.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. At first, I was going to cut the tails off the bow. But then I decided to keep them long. It is a card which is one I will probably hand-deliver because of the bow. What do you think…should I have cut them off? Won’t you let me know in your comment today? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one. And remember, if you ever have a question about the techniques I use or the cards I create, I am only an email away. Until next time…

Hello Ann: Your card is gorgeous, I love the flow of the beautiful bow, I wouldn’t change anything. Your coloring is amazing and, as always, the addition of the pearls is a lovely detail.
Speaking of lovely…..that picture of Muffy sleeping with her little baby is just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this pictures of this sweet and beautiful puppies and their mom.
Your card is ‘dream’y! So soft, pretty, and elegant. Love the long tails. Sweet pic of Muffy and the mini muffins,
Love the card. Very pretty! Keep the bow as is because if you cut them short it will lose the beauty of the wings as they freely flow down the card. Love the pictures of the doggies! Have a super day and thank you for sharing the doggies and card.
This card is stunning, Wouldn’t change anything about that beautiful bow. How content Muffy looks having one of the fur babies to snuggle with.
Delicious! Reminds me of a wedding. LOVE the long tails!…..and the pups : )
Beautifully done Ann. I would have never thought to do these in purple but they turned out gorgeous and the bow is so vintage! Love it!

The bow finishes off the card, cutting it may spoil the idea you had planned in the first place. Lovely.
