Today, we bring you a mix of watercolor inspiration and vintage-inspired typography……each lovely in their own right and lovelier still when they can used together. Whether you watercolor regularly or have never picked up a paintbrush before, we hope to leave you inspired to let your inner artist come out and play. Who knows? Perhaps a masterpiece is just a brush stroke (or a stamped image) away!
Maile Belles is the leader in trends once again! Watercolor Wonder features stamps made to look like brush strokes of paint. If you're a fan of the watercolor look, but sometimes don’t want to bother with getting all the supplies out or waiting for the paint to dry, this stamp set eliminates all of those steps and lets you quickly stamp a watercolor or painted design of your own.

Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!
For my first project today I dug out an old favorite, Friendship Jar Fillers. I thought the paintbrush image in that set would be a wonderful companion for Maile's new Watercolor Wonder set.
I stamped the paintbrushes in True Black ink and then added various stroke images from Watercolor Wonder, making it look as thought the paintbrushes did the work! I used Raspberry Fizz, Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, Hawaiian Shores and New Leaf inks for that.
I added this phrase from Up, Up & Away Sentiments, perfectly appropriate for the rainbow color scheme.
The card front layer was attached to a Raspberry Fizz Card base.
For my next project I wanted to try adding smears of Stickles to the paint strokes to add a bit of sparkle, and I am really happy with the results!
I stamped a few different paint stroke images to create this focal point. On several of them, I inked the edges with a slightly darker color to add more depth. I used Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest, Terracotta Tile, Simply Chartreuse and Ripe Avocado. After I completed the stamping, I smeared a bit of Stickles over the paint stroke images, adding shimmer and shine.
The sentiment, from Stylish Sentiments: Birthday, was added using True Black ink. I dotted the "i" with a tiny star die-cut with the Super Stars Border die which was covered with Stickles as well. Everything was mounted onto a Classic Kraft card base.
My next project is super simple, but I really like the detail that the paint strokes add underneath the sentiment. And the best thing about this design is that you could do it in several different color schemes and it would look just as good!
I stamped the paint stroke lines first alternating Aqua Mist, Spring Rain and Ocean Tides. I added one little "splatter" element from Grunge Me to the right of the stripes.
I added this sentiment from Stylish Sentiments: Birthday over the paint strokes using Enchanted Evening ink. The white focal point block was adhered to an Ocean Tides card base.
I pulled out Scattered Showers and it's Additions set for my next project!
I stamped the paint strokes from the top down, to make it look as though it was "raining" in color. There is a tiny single "droplet" stamp in Scattered Showers that I added in a few key places at the bottom of the strokes. I used Harvest Gold, Melon Berry, Spring Moss, Aqua Mist and Summer Sunrise for these.
I die-cut and stamped the umbrella using Berry Sorbet ink. The handle and the sentiment were added in Charcoal Palette ink.
This was adhered to a Smokey Shadow card base.
This card is another super clean & simple creation, but I love it all the same!
I stamped this sentiment from Stylish Sentiments: Birthday onto a crisp white card base using True Black ink.
I then created a raised border strip by stamping paint splatters onto a strip of white cardstock and notching the end. I used Pure Poppy, Orange Zest, Harvest Gold, New Leaf, Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist and Winter Wisteria.
The stamped border strip was then adhered to the card base with bits of foam tape for dimension.
Peaceful Garden is the next previously released set that I decided to pair up with Watercolor Wonder.
I stamped the paint strokes first using Winter Wisteria, Hawaiian Shores, Blueberry Sky and Spring Rain. Then I added this flower silhouette multiple times in True Black. Last, I added a shadow to the flowers stamping them again in Charcoal Palette ink.
I added a sentiment from Peaceful Garden across the center of the card front. This was adhered to a Winter Wisteria card base.
For my last project I wanted to show you how you can create some simple "artistic striped" paper, just like you see on Pinterest frequently, using these awesome new paint stroke images. I stamped the stripes in Fresh Snow ink onto New Leaf cardstock.
For the focal point, I stamped a strip of Aqua Mist cardstock with another sentiment from Stylish Sentiments: Birthday, using New Leaf ink. This particular sentiment is one of my favorites from the set because I am always looking for a good way yo wish someone a belated birthday! I notched the bottom of the strip and stitched a New Leaf button at the top.
After adhering the sentiment strip in place with foam tape, I added a bit of Washi tape at the bottom to help lead the eye down the card.

Lillian O says
I am loving Maile’s Watercolor set but something inside of me is still “scare”–maybe it’s like Dawn’s description of letting go and not having to be “perfect”. I think I will try!
Jean says
LOVE Watercolor Wonder ~ so easy to achieve the look without the mess or cleanup. Once again all of the samples are outstanding!!
Janet B. from WV says

Rebecca Ednie says
I actually used watercolour just a couple days ago to make a get well card for my FIL. I probably wouldn’t have thought of it if you hadn’t been posting so many pretty watercolour cards lately! I didn’t want to colour a car image so I used two blue paints and just swiped them across the image. These stamps would have made it faster and easier!
zimin says
I just love the birthday sentiments, they make the card look effortlessly chic and beautiful!
Cheryl B. says

Thank you for showing us how its done the RIGHT way!!
Rebecca W says

I loved everything you made today and am looking forward to the whole reveal of Stylish Sentiments:Birthday, as well. Seems as if I make more birthday cards than anything and can never have too many sentiments for those. It gets kind of boring just using a generic “Happy Birthday” all the time.:)

It’s been a while since I tried a watercolor project with my stamps. I’m now excited about trying it again. I think I might start with Easter cards, mixing pastel colors. Nichole’s “Sun Will Come Out” card really caught my eye; the “raining colors” are so pretty.

miriam says
the sentiments and typographic styling are incredible! the watercolor sets looks really clever and i love how you combined it with other images, giving us ideas of how to use the set to play with other sets and create more graphic ideas. im just not sure though, the watercolor set feels a bit like “cheating” to me :), presenting an artistic technique that didnt really happen

Awesome stuff!!!!
Lauren
Amrita says
Love the pretty watercolors. Great cards today!
Becs Attwood says
One can never have too many Birthday Sentiment sets – that is certainly the most useful card type in my experience – and these ones are a fun, trendy version that would get plenty of use at my place! And Maile’s watercolor set is very smart – so many fun possibilities with this one.
Wish I had time to play along with the challenge but with work all day and my father-in-law coming to dinner it’s not going to happen today.
missy says
I Love the new birthday set.
Tanis S says
Wow, that watercolor set is pretty cool, and very versatile. I can imagine a number of ways to use it to jazz up a card.

Wendy ten Hove says
This new watercolor set is just perfect! You would think there would already be stamps for this, ’cause it’s ideal, but there aren’t, so I think it’s absolutely perfect that Papertrey & Maile now created this! I looooove it! Amazing ideas already, what a fabulous set! And bday cards are always the most to be made here, so already have ideas for those as well!
Hugs, Wendy

All your designers are top notch, but lately Maile is who I seem to turn to for inspiration. I so love her new sets!
