And it just gets better and better! The new Build-A-Flower: Triumph Tulip is adorbs and we are hopping along to celebrate the release so you should have arrived here from the JAYCEE’s amazing Blog!
I felt like making a watercolour’y mess today and thought I would try my hand at stamping with Watercolor Brush Markers again. You can see my first attempt HERE.
I made a waercolour Honeycomb Stencil background using the Altenew Watercolor Pan Set. It’s wonderful how all the colours match so well….
then it came time to stamp out my flowers and leaves and you can watch this easy technique in the video linked below.
I already had a die cut Mega Hello ready to go and I used a sub sentiment from the Simply the Best Stamp Set. A final touch was to add some enamel dots.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

This is a beautiful set of flowers ( my favorite flower). I love the watercolor design, because it’s a messy look. I’m not good at the detailed watercolor look, lol. Please know that we are all thinking and prayer for all the people of Australia.
Beautiful. I love your creativity because Lydia’s watercolor flowers were much different.
Beautiful card Therese. It has a really “fresh” Spring look. Love the background. I need to try that technique. You always come up with something new. Thank you.
Wish I could send you some of the rain that we’ve been having. Stay safe and take care ❤️
Stunning design, love the background!
I’m excited to try using a stencil with watercolors!
Love your choice of colors and that you used watercolors. I need to give that technique a try. Thank you for the inspiration.
Oooh, this is gorgeous!
Beautiful cards!
Beautiful card, thank you so much for the inspiration.
I don’t have the markers, sadly. But I can see me giving this a go with the Altenew pan set – absolutely GORGEOUS!! Thanks so much for sharing your wondrous talent with us, Therese! xx

Oh my gosh! I love the watercolour look–so gorgeous!
Just so lovely!
What a beautiful card! Great choice of colors! 🙂
What inspiration! I would never have thought to use black on a flower but I will try it now. I am also excited to try watercoloring on stamps. THat is a lovely card!
Love this new Triumph Tulip build-a-flower set! Lovely card.
Inspiring video for using watercolours to give unique effects. The card is beautiful. I’m going to try that stencil idea as it makes such an interesting background.
Gorgeous card! I love this watercolor technique!
Stunning watercolor effect! So beautiful!
Thanks for sharing and creating!
I guess I could just copy and paste the comment that I usually leave for your gorgeous work! You truly amaze me every time you create. I just love this technique, Therese! You are so so talented and inspiring. Thanks fir sharing your work!!
Hi Therese. A very happy 2020 to you and your family. Hope you’re not caught up in the horrendous fires sweeping almost right around Australia at the moment. Your card is beautiful, as always – the Altenew build-a-flower is, as always another stunner. I’m hoping that they make the stamp sets in mini-cubes as well as the large stamp pads due to storage, but it’s fabulous that they sort out the colour combinations for us – love it. I’ve still not mastered water colouring, but will keep trying this year. Love your work. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.
watercolor is a passion but I’m not as good as you
Wonderful card and a fun watercoloring technique.
Thanks so much for sharing…
Watercolor mess? No! Watercolor amazing and beautiful! Tulips are one of my very favorite – love this set!
I love the flowers that you water colored. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I think you did a great job! The flowers look so delicate!
beautiful card, thank you for sharing
Amazing art work! What wonderful colors.
Another gorgeous flower set! Thank you for the inspiration!
Very unusual & beautiful!
Very beautiful and unusual!
Good morning Therese
I just loved how you watercoloured the tulips.
It’s a beautiful card and everything just flows together,
The large script hello die just really sets the whole card off.
It adds negative space and makes the tulips really shine.
Hugs and cheers
Lisa
Wow! So gorgeous! I love the water coloring you did on this one! Thanks for the video! I have those watercolor brushes so now I have to try this!
Beautiful watercolor cards!
Beautiful! I always enjoy your videos and learn something too!
I hope you stay safe and those horrible fires get controlled.
Great cards, beautiful watercolors!
I’ve admired every card in the blog so far…YOURS is my new favorite! Makes me want to stop what I’m doing and create some cards….after ordering the TT stamp set!
Beautiful watercolor technique on these gorgeous BAF Tulip blooms, love the black detail layer and the soft watery honeycomb background.
Theresa, your color combo is stunning!!! I love that you are never afraid of being BOLD in your designs.
So pretty! I love the giant “hello” intertwined with the tulips!
Such a unique color combo and I love the HELLO
Beautiful card!
Thinking of all of you in Australia and hoping that you are safe and the fires can be controlled soon. It hurts to watch the news coverage! I think your card is my favorite thus far…love the background and the beautiful tulips you created, plus the design is gorgeous!
Thanks so much for your kind thoughts Barbara, we are feeling very lucky where we are.
such pop! Love the colors and bright designs.
Love the background you created for these spectacular tulips! Gorgeous card!
Wow! This card looks amazing! I love the new BAF set!
Stunning card and really pretty stamp set
The video explained this process very well. Like the black layer to finish off the image.
The contrast of the bold black with the soft watercolour is delicious, Therese … so dramatic … and gorgeous! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Oh so gorgeous❣️My favorite Spring flower 💞
Just beautiful! And that is a lovely color for a tulip!
Really cute card! Love the design.
Love your watercolor background. I am just beginning to experiment with watercolor.
Beware… watercolouring is addictive lol.
Love the watercolored tulips! Really like how you tucked the tulips in around the hello die cut. Very nice!
So glad that your family is okay.
You did a great job with the water coloring of these flowers.
WOW, absolutely gorgeous!
What a great idea to watercolor the layering stamp and it turned out great!
This looks amazing!!
Really lovely… that background is so wonderful. I love tulips they are our first sign of Spring. Always enjoy your videos so much. Glad to know you are safe but it is so hard to see that burning on the news. Seen it in movies and this is so much worse. Stay safe and creative. Our prayers are with Australia.
Thanks for your kind thoughts Anne
Therese, first off I hope that you and family are safe. The fires are hard to see and I hope that they can get it under control quickly. When we were in CA, there were a lot of wildfires in our area and luckily we were always out of harms way, but the ash falling down and the burned sights around town were hard to stomach.
I love the colors of your tulips! They are so pretty and remind me a bit of a wildfire with the orange hues in it. Inspiration comes from many places I suppose, not that you used the fire for yours. I like the soft watercolors and am looking forward to your video! I like to watch those later when I am working out on the rower!
Cheers and thanks again for the great inspiration!
These fires are truly devastating and we are feeling very lucky that they are not here, though we had some nearby before Chrismtas but we were only smoke affected. It’s ging to be a long slow rebuild, it’s the wildlife that truly breaks my heart as they are so helpless, I can’t watch the images on TV. Thanks so much for thinking of us, Hugs Tx
Love your rich colors. They are incredible. I am enjoying seeing your designs.
Sending prayers for the fires in Australia, stay safe! Thanks so much for sharing this gorgeous stamp set, your card is fabulous!
Thanks so much Maria!
Oh Therese!!! That technique with the watercolor brush pens! I am trying that tonight! Thank you so much for always taking the time to make us a video — they are so helpful (and shareable!)
Hope you have fun creating!
Beautiful card! Fun technique. I did something similar after watching Lilith and Lydia a couple of weeks ago. I just need to make cards from them.
When you stamped the first layer with the water colors it looked like a hot mess. So amazing to see the final result. I look forward to giving this technique a try.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and all of Australia. It’s painful to watch the fires burning on the news every night. How much worse if must be for you. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks so much for your kind thoughts Michele, it’s truly devastating and we are feeling very lucky to be safe where we are.
So different, yet so beautiful. I’ll have to give your technique a try, if and when I can get into my craft room (renovations are coming)! Thanks for giving me some ideas 🙂
ooh, renovations that sounds wonderful!! Have fun!
Stunning! Gorgeous background & fab new stamp.
Amazing color combination. Beautiful!!!
Such a beautiful card!! Lovely colors!!
your background for those gorgeous tulips is so pretty – love this new BAF
Sending thoughts and prayers to all of Australia.
I love the texture you got and you used orange a color I am learning to love.
Thanks so much Alice, it’s been devastating, we are feeling very lucky to be safe where we are!
Thank you for showing how you can watercolor stamps. I have no artistic talent but always wanted to watercolor my cards. Now I can. Thank you so much.
Oh, my gosh, I am In LOVE with these tulips!!!
Such a beautiful card. Stunning.
Beautiful card! Your tulips look like colors of the sunset.
WOW!!! I love the black in the tulip with color. What a great tulip set.
Wonderful inspiration – I love that this stamp set has such crisp layered detail – but with this card, you showed how to use it differently – I love that soft, blurred watercolour look – gorgeous washes blending of colour. It makes me think of Spring tulips in the rain. I love it and absolutely want to try this myself too – thanks for the inspiration!
This is such beautiful design, wonderfully elegant too. You really do have such a eye for detail and I love it! X
Interesting watching your video. I might just bust out my markers and try this technique.
Love how your card turned out! 🙂
Your card is absolutely gorgeous. When I think of layering stamps I think of coordinating ink colors, not watercolors. Thanks so much for showing the watercolor technique. I love it and will be trying it soon.
I really enjoy the black on the flowers. And the tulips fit in so well around the mega hello die. Just beautiful!
Beautiful design and colors. I like the background.
Beautiful card! Love the water color look. And thanks for the great video.
I always love your color combinations. I have never try this technique which I will definitely do.
Love your giggles:)
Isamar
gorgeous card
I love the look of your artistic tulips with the watercolor paired with the black! Such a bold and beautiful card!
