My first card was made with the ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL Embossing Folder and Cutting Die Brilliant Budding. I diecut a rectangle panel from Arches hot pressed watercolor paper. I watercolored the embossed parts, cut an extra flower that I also embossed before watercoloring. The edges are inked with distress ink and I then spattered the bg with irridecent gold watercolor from Daniel Smith. 
The dots are made from glitter cardstock that I added glossy accent to.


For my secon card I played with distress ink and the new 4 Stencils White Fusion  - so much fun - I have lots of cool half ready designs to use for future cards because I couldn't stop trying new combos of colors!





Last, but not least, a Welcome Baby card made with the new SUPER ADORABLE - Get Whale Soon  stamp set:
