Simple Floral Border with Kelly

Hello Crafters! 

While I was sitting down to create this card I kept getting interrupted. If you have small children I know you feel me. You can literally accomplish nothing while they are conscious. 

However, I still wanted to create something because, Hello! Stress reliever!
I opted to see if I could create a watercolor background with next to no game planning. 

Guess what?!

You can! 
and it's pretty :) 


The new Bloom set makes it super fast and easy even if little hands insist on "helping" you. 
Oh, you just wait. 
You'll see what I mean if you watch the video below. 

Once my little peanut was out for the night I did manage to add some detail that wasn't necessary but made me happy. 

You can watch the entire process in the video below 


Hahahaha. Seriously, I cut out a good five minutes of his antics but I had to leave a bit in. His tiny little paws are just too cute :) 


The border is super bold but not too overwhelming because of that simple stamped panel. Plus, it's shimmery and that always makes me smile. 


The single flowers make it super easy to highlight the beautiful sentiment. And if you're not into fussy cutting no worries there are dies haha! 

Thanks so much for joining me today!

  1. I love it. It was interesting to see how you changed your game plan in the middle. It's fun to see people's creative process.

  2. How vibrant and stunning - thanks for showing how easy it can be (cause it's very intimidating for me to watercolor, esp so many detailed images altogether!) ♥
