Just Because…and Just Beautiful

Simon Says Stamp | You Are My Favorite Release
04/29/2025

Hey friends!

I’m sharing a vibrant floral card today using goodies from the You Are My Favorite release by @SimonSaysStamp—and this one’s all about bold color, loose watercolor, and that “just because” magic 💗 I reached for my liquid watercolors to bring these blooms to life, and let’s just say… I didn’t hold back on the splatters 😉

Whether you’re sending a note of encouragement, friendship, or a happy hello, this design is an easy favorite for brightening someone’s day!

Design Highlights

  • 💦 Watercolored florals: I used liquid watercolors to bring these embossed blooms to life with bold pinky-purples—each one is soft around the edges but bursting with color.
  • 🎯 Splatters for drama: A generous mix of white and black splatters adds playful texture and an artsy feel to the finished panel.
  • 🎨 Embossed floral background: The image has depth and dimension, thanks to a detailed floral embossing folder that does all the heavy lifting for the layout.
  • ✨ Clean framing: I kept the rest of the card simple with a clean white base and the sentiment stamped directly onto the panel for a modern finish.
  • 💌 “Just Because” sentiment: A versatile message that works for nearly any occasion—because sometimes, no reason is the best reason.

This was such a fun one to make—loose, colorful, and just a little messy in the best way! I love how the release makes it so easy to go bold and artsy while keeping things polished.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
