To start, I flippantly sprayed a bit of watercolor paper and added a light-weight wash of coloration utilizing the SCT watercolor brush pens and Altenew’s watercolor brush marker in Rouge, then set it apart to dry. The watercolor utility doesn’t should be good and appears extra natural when it’s not for my part. 

For the following step, I die-cut the Spellbinders 4 Petal Thank You die in varied cardstock shades from Spellbinders, then assembled it accordingly. Subsequent, I die-cut the Spellbinders Scrolled Punch & Pierce Plate in white cardstock, then used solely the middle body to create a backdrop for the die-cut blooms.

Now that the watercolor background is dry, I used the Honey Bee Stamps Deckle Edge A2 die set to die reduce it (When you don’t have these dies, you’ll be able to all the time use a particular trimmer or the sting of a ruler to create the identical impact.) then a second bigger one in white, and adhered the watercolor one over high. Subsequent, I adhered the body to the middle with foam tape, earlier than including the blooms. I shifted the petals and leaves as wanted, then used skinny foam tape to safe them to the body.

For the sentiment, I foiled Sending Power from the Spellbinders Sealed Glimmer Sentiments Foil Set utilizing Copper foil. I then trimmed it down and adhered it to the body utilizing extra foam adhesive. To complete, I added small pearl gildings to the body and mounted it to the completed mission to a high folding card base.
