Congratulations Card

For this card I smeared the embossing paste on the "mini swirly garden" stencil, I lift up the stencil and sprinkled embossing powder on the paste then I let it dry (overnight). The next day I heat it and immediately you could see the gold of the embossing powder.

Watercoloring Stamped Images

I made this card using the technique from the Online Card Classes "Watercolor", a combination of Shari Carrol's video (an embossed background) and Jennifer McGuire's video (watercoloring with shimmer).
I used Lawn Fawn clear stamp "Belinda's Borders" and the sentiment is from SSS "Wats Up".
I embossed the sentiment on a vellum and stitched it on the card.

In this angle you can see the shimmer!!

Watercolor Background & Stamping

Watercolor Background

For this card I had to practice a few times, to get the results I wanted. I used Distress Inks and a mini acrylic  block to get a rectangular shape.  The sentiment is from SSS "Color and Sunshine" and the banner is from SSS craft die "Folded Banner".
I like all the bright colors on the card!

This technique was given by Laura Bassen in the Online Card Classes "Watercolor".

Watercolor Background

This is the "emboss resist technique" given by Kristina Werner in the Online Card Classes "Watercolor".

I used different clear stamps of flower and place it on my Fiskar Stamp Press to get a larger image on my cardstock. The sentiment is from the SSS " Thinking Of You". I love the results of this technique!
