Sending Smiles | Video

I love watercolor backgrounds - I find them to be so soft and pretty.  And I love the Liquid Colors, because they are so versatile in the pigmentation.

 For today's card, I've used the Rustic Rose Liquid Color to create the background.  In the process video, I show you how I get variation in color - both by building up sections of the the actual watercoloring, and by using various strengths of the liquid color to flick over the surface.


On top of the watercolor background, I've added some Sparkle Silk splatter, a couple of banners, and a baby envelope die cut with a sentiment insert that is heat embossed in Copper.  A few pearls added the finishing touch to the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Much love,

From my Heart

When I first saw the Baby Envelope Die, I definitely let out a little "Aww"!  Tiny things are just cute....for reasons...

This card was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the dies and stamps I received in my Designer Showcase package.  The tiny envelope, tiny sentiment stamps, and little hearts were a perfect match for one another.  I paired them with a single larger heart punch (coming out of the envelope), and a die cut rectangle for the card front. 

Thanks for stopping by!
