Watercolor and Embossed Flowers Cards

Here are two cards similar but with different sentiments.


Sentiment:  Best Mom in the world.


Sentiment:  Wish you the most beautiful day.

This is watercolor with embossing with lavender and blue paints and paper.
These are part of a watercolor project for three different cards.


A peek at the messy watercolor process before trimming:

Something Big Encouragement Card

This is a card going out to my daughter for working so hard in college and having big dreams.


Sentiment:
She always knew she could do something big.

This little girl is adorable and she goes perfectly with the sentiment.
I just love the sweetness of it.  But I had to make it with more of a grown up style.

Someone Like You Rose Card

Today I am sharing a rose card with a mix of watercolor and stencil work.


Sentiment:
Some people make you laugh a little louder, smile a little brighter & make life a little bit happier. {some people like you}

The roses were stamped then a touch of watercolor was added.
The background is distress ink and a stencil.

I snapped some photos along the way during the process.

Birthday Balloons Celebration Card

A birthday card that sparkles for today.


Sentiment:  It's your birthday.  Time to celebrate.

This is filled with colorful balloons.
The balloons are made from stamps meant to be tree tops.
When I saw the photo challenge below, I saw balloons and I saw these tree tops as the perfect shapes to make them with.  They are decorated with tiny flowers.  The strings were hand drawn.

I added a vellum cloud embossed sentiment panel and glitter for the balloons.
