Happy Birthday, Simon!

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge celebrates their 9th birthday! I was so impressed by the watercolor card by Yoosun Hur (Rejoicing Crafts) on the inspiration page that I had to try getting the soft colors by yet again trying to do some "no-line-watercoloring" on this card. I first stamped the flowers with Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink on watercolor paper and started watercoloring with Sakura's Koi Water Colors. This is relaxing but time consuming. The inspiration card was a shaker card, so I also decided to put some fun sparkles inside. Links to the products used are below. Hope you enjoy it!
 Stamps used are from Simon Says Stamp Bouquet of Thanks and Let Us Rejoice for the greeting.
The confetti inside the shaker are the Carousel Lights from Honey Bee Stamps and the small clear stars are from Pretty Pink Posh. I used the fishtail stitched dies from Lawn Fawn and also the Bouquet of Thanks matching die to cut out the flowers.
