Watercolors on Embossed Images | CAS | TUTORIAL


While I still won't profess to the best watercolor'er (is that even a word? lol) in the world, I do love playing with them. I couldn't 'not' pull them out for this particular card, as it's my card for the K Werner Mail Call. I absolutely adore Kristina and have learned so much from her. She is a Master of all card making. Truly, she's amazing. When I grow up I want to be just like her (among a couple other amazing people that inspire me lol)
Kristina's theme for March is "Just Because" so that's the sentiment I used. In fact, you can watch me make the entire card, it's a pretty fun video. I even chat a little as you guys have told me you would prefer I chat with you rather than speed it up and add music. So that's just what I did, coz I love ya all! xoxo
So what do you think? Will Kristina be proud of my efforts?

**Here is the link to my Shimmers & Splatters Video I mentioned in the video**

I did end up doing an envelope. It's nothing like the envies Kristina does, but I was happy with it!
I don't have any little 'snail' stamps, so I opted to use a sticker and matching flowers for the "i's" in her name.
I'm sure glad I took a photo of it, as I still had pencil marks from drawing the lines that I couldn't see but they showed up in my photo! Phew! 
I sure wish I had the same penmanship as Kristina! *Sigh*

Question: Can you write in Brush Script? How did you learn?

 Welcome back to my Monday Series - Let's CASE it, Let's MAKE it! Where I show you how to take a card you love and make it your own! As always I include all my tips and tricks. This series is enjoyed by ALL levels of stampers & paper crafters.

See the Grapefruit Grove colored card at the top? 
It's super pretty but I'm going to show you how to recreate that card and make it your own
