Hi everyone. Another fun technique from yesterday's class. This time, I've "watercolored" a white embossed image on vellum, using my Stampin' Up! inks and water. I LOVE how this turned out ... so pretty! :)
I mounted the vellum to the underside of my card front with square cut-out, leaving space between the vellum and my card base. It does give it more of a stained glass look.
One thing's for sure, I've made a lot of cards since the start of my course, so have a large stash to give as gifts to family and friends ... it's all good.
The instructors have given us a bonus day today and lots more things to learn. I still have lots of the techniques from the course that I haven't tried as well, so I'll slowly work my way through them over the next while and see what works best for me. I've learned lots of different ways to watercolor and now have lots more techniques in my repertoire.
Just noticed the challenge for Less is More (#172) is Flowers so I'm entering this card. :)

Quick and easy card that uses a strip of musical paper, edged with twine. An embossed heart and simple sentiment finishes the card ...
And who doesn't love "tea time" :) I used a digital image and sentiment for the card below, paper piecing the tea cups and adding crystal effects to give them shine.

Gorgeous rose card! Love that vellum that adds a dreamy quality as well as the watercolored flowers! Great DD cards! Love the doily beneath the tea cups!
Another beautiful card and technique. You really have been busy lately with all the watercolor techniques. I have not had any card making mojo since I have not been feeling well. Sure hope I get back to normal soon. Looking at all of your pretty projects makes me want to try some new things. Thanks for sharing all the fun from your class.
Love your water colour card, it turned out so beautiful!!! And I like your time out cards too, and the dear little cups, they are all so beautiful, and thanks for sharing!!!!
Your painting on vellum turned out perfectly - so soft and pretty! My garden is calling me today but I'll get into the craft room soon as you're inspiring me to try more of the course's techniques!
Love both of your other cards, especially the tea one - perfect for me!
Lovely selection of cards and your CAS card is fabulous

Wow! I am loving the vellum roses Loll!! I didn't know you could water color on vellum, but duh, why wouldn't you be able to?! Beautiful indeed! I love your other two cards too! The music and heart is just so pretty and I love those tea cups/coffee cups. You do make some beautiful cards Loll!! Hugs
Beautiful roses Loll, the vellum gives such a soft look, so pretty, Cathy x

All of your cards are really beautiful, especially how you painted on vellum...you've done an amazing job with water coloring, Loll!
Such a delicate and pretty card Loll - watercolour on velum is particularly effective as you've shown so well here. Love your other two cards, especially the tea for two one.
