For the three cards above I diecut the wonderful Lush Leaves from watercolor paper and then colored them using Daniel Smith Watercolors. I diecut panels from watercolor paper and gold cardstock and assembled them to a cardbase once I had stamped the greetings with SSS Black ink. My sentiments are from Flower Block and Airy Greetings.
I then decorated my panels with the diecut leaves and added some lovely
Simon Rhinestones; Pawsitively Dazzling Gems Royal and COPPER PEARL Liquid Pearls Pearlescent Paint
For my thisd, instead fo coloring the leaves I cut a window of leaves and colored the bg instead. Simple yet beautiful. I added gold to my watercolors which shimmer when the light hits.
My last and fourth card was extremely fast and simple using the new layering stamps called Airy Greetings. The color combinations for designs with these stamps are infinite and so fun. I went with a colorcombo that make me think of a tablecloth my grandma had when I was little (70's) (-:
The products I used were all from the new release Be Bold
