We’ve had plenty of April showers here in the midwest this month so today’s card just seemed appropriate. The Beautiful You stamp set by Stampin’ Up! is artistic with lovely images and sentiments. Color can be added to the Beautiful You images with the included brushstroke stamps or use Watercolor Pencils along with Aqua Painters like I did for some subtle shading.
I love all the layers in this card along with the sweet mini paper clip, doily and baker’s twine embellishments. The Pool Party, Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry color combination was an unexpected surprise – they work great together!
Watch my video tutorial for some watercolor techniques and a tip to heat emboss with any ink color using Clear Embossing Powder.
