Sympathy: Dragonfly on Wall

The wall used embossing paste with Sahara Sand added and a stencil.  The dragonfly was layered on watercolor paper using watercolor powders. Wink of Stella was added for the glittery shine.

Birthday: Watercolor Dragonfly Dreams

Avant Garden has a flower stamp that fits on a stem.  I used that flower stamp in circles of three to create a flower.  Once spritzed, the flowers look like a single flower.  I had a piece of shimmery card stock that blended perfectly with the watercolored piece.

Mother's Day: Watercolor Flowers and Butterflies

I had three cards to make for Mother's Day this year.  My daughter-in-law is now a mother -- with my fourth grandchild.  Life is good!

I am still fascinated with watercolor for the background.  I made all three cards at the same time, but each card is unique.  Each card has seven layers of stamping and spritzing.  I love this technique!
