Simply the Best

I love how this came out - I used freezer paper for a mask. I cut the freezer paper with the PaperTrey butterfly die and ironed it onto the watercolor paper.  I then watercolored around and over the mask using the wet on wet watercolor technique.  I carefully lifted the mask off when the panel was dry and stamped the sentiment (from Technique Tuesday). I added a few gems and mounted it onto aqua mist card stock and added a thin black strip to make the watercolor panel pop.

Make a Wish

This is my homework from one of the Online Card Class - CAS4 Day 2 lessons.  I really like how this came out and it was fairly quick and easy once I had the idea in my head.  The
border die is from Lil Inkers and the balloon and sentiment are from Clearly Besotted.

Valentine You Color My World

This Valentine covers many challenges.  Three challenges are for SCS - case of Luv Lee's card, monochromatic mixed media and a photo inspiration.
I started with a light pink piece of PaperTrey Ink paper and blended in some Distress Ink - Spun Sugar to create an ombre pattern.  Then I stamped the hearts with Versamark Ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I stamped the sentiment with PTI Autumn Rose dye ink and finished the card off with some sequins.

I am submitting this card to the following blog challenges:

Inskspirational - Ombre
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Have a Heart
The Card Concept - Love (mixed media)
