One recent crafty Tuesday, I watercolored these cards. The stamp image is from WPlus9 - Beautiful Bouquets-Dahlia's. My Mom used to have Dahalia's and Zinnia's in the garden during summer time. I loved the bold colors and the tight petaled blooms.
This is a super fun set to color. I got out my finally and newly aquired peerless watercolors and went to work filling in spaces that were left after the image was heat embossed.
I cut the images out using Spellbinders A2 Distressed Die, and mounted them on to Michaels cream colored 110lb card stock. I don't like mounting watercolor paper on white bases. I added a few sequins in similar colors or clear depending on what I had on hand, and then used a bit of Spectrum Noir's sparkle pen in clear to add some shimmer.
No sentiments for the fronts...Truthfully, I have no idea where to put them. No worries, these will make great note cards.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

These make a lovely set of cards, Cat! They need no sentiments.
beautiful set of cards - gorgeous coloring - are you home yet?
Absolutely fantastic! I like that Spellbinders die choice - perfect touch. And no sentiment needed!
Forget the sentiments, Cat, they are totally frame-able!! xx
So lovely! The whole set gives off such a vibrant SPLASH of color! I agree with you about the sentiments - now these cards can be perfect for any occasion! I'm sorry I've been such a bad bloggy friend of late, the month of June snuck away from me somehow, but I'm working to fix it!
Great note cards indeed--love these, Cat! Beautifully watercolored! Do you like the Spectrum Noir better than WOS?
Gorgeous watercoloring, and perfect note cards, Cat! I love all the summery colors you chose, too!
