All Occasion: Floral Watercolor with Gold Embossing


I used watercolor paper with sponges for a smooth transition of color.  The picture does not do justice; the center is quite yellow out to dark orange on the edges.  I embossed Flowering Flourishes with gold embossing powder before I started.  Then I sponged the color on.  After the paper was dry, I used the background stamp and added the strips and sponged flowers.  The strips were also stamped with a background stamp and lightly sponged.

Colors:
Early Espresso
Hello Honey
Cajun Craze
Dusty Durango
Very Vanilla

Stamps:
Irish Blessing background stamp

Sandpaper background stamp

Christmas: City Skyline



A watercolored night scene using Brusho watercolor powders.  The city is a Lawn Fawn die.  The bottom of the card also uses the Brusho powders, but I put some powder in water for a lighter effect.

Christmas: Pop-Up Gift Card Holder




Another gift card holder.  I used Lawn Fawn's Gift Card Pop-up for the inside of the card.  I decorated the front of the card, then adhered the pop-up along the fold of the card.  Another easy gift card holder.

Christmas: Watercolor Powder and Embossed Poinsettias


I have discovered watercolor powder!  Oh my goodness, I love the vibrant colors and the ease of use.  

I used Versa Mark ink with the holly and poinsettias and embossed with silver embossing powder.  Then I sprinkled the watercolor powder onto the card and spritzed.  And the powder created this beautiful background.
