Impressions Abloom -Watercolour

Published on September 6, 2025September 6, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape—I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

“On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele,’ I created this card using a watercolouring technique with the Impressions Abloom Bundle by Stampin’ Up! ®.”

The card design itself is very simple—white on white. I wanted to add just a touch of texture without introducing extra colour so that the watercoloured flowers and leaves remained the true highlight.

I chose five colours: three for the flower petals, one for the centres, and a green for the leaves. I approached this as a practice session, preparing at least two sheets of watercolour paper for each colour and simply playing. To add interest, I experimented with techniques like sprinkling salt or flicking water to create different textures. Don’t be afraid to try new things—you never know what effects you might discover!

Be sure to let the paper dry completely before die-cutting so you achieve clean cuts. Once you’ve cut the pieces you need, keep the leftovers—they’ll be perfect for future projects.
