Watercolor Thanks

I had tons of fun over break with embossing and watercoloring.  Some of these were new sets and others were stamps I pulled out of the vault.

On this card, I used Tempting Turquoise, Watermelon Wonder, and Daffodil Delight ink to make the background.  I die cut these three little butterflies in vellum from a Stampin' Up die that embosses them at the same time!  I love how they turned out!

I used clear embossing powder on this card, then watercolored using greens and blues...I think it was helado de pistachio, costa cabaña, and pool party.  I label all my inks in Spanish, but I can only remember what some of them are in English, and they don't translate directly... Ha!

This was my favorite card of the whole break because I just.love.that.flower!  I used white embossing powder here and watermelon wonder, crisp cantaloupe, and frambuesa sorpresa ink.  Then I splattered it with watermelon wonder and gold and glittered it up with my Wink of Stella glitter brush.

I FINALLY liked a card from a set I have struggled with.  This set is a three-step process and drove me insane until I got a MISTI for Christmas, which really is the best thing ever.  No more trouble lining things up!  I wet the paper and stamped it, adding water when I wanted it to run more. 

For this card, I just wanted to use that palm tree from the Totally Trees set!!!!  On this card, I used Distress inks: Faded Jeans, Tumbled Glass, Spiced Marmalade, and Wild Honey, and maybe a little frambuesa sorpresa ink in the sunset too.  Are you as in love with the watercolor trend as I am?
