We are excited to have Jyoti (CARDSNCRAFTSNYC) as our Guest Designer this month. Welcome Jyoti!
I love to heat emboss outline images. It helps me keep the colours from going over the edge. I've used gold embossing for the card above, with the image watercoloured with Distress inks. I used a light gray zig to add a light shadow around the flower spray. To finish, a black sentiment banner with white embossing placed over top. :)

Bright and cheery and there you go again making me think of Spring!! Beautiful card and lovely water coloring too!! Hugs. :0)
I am with you on the bright and happy colours Loll, and these are so pretty too with the gold embossing and love the contrast of the white on black sentiment strip across the card. x
Love the soft colours on this one and that lovely gold outline. That soft outline of grey really adds something special to the overall effect xx
This is so cheerful Loll and appropriate for so many occasions. Love the brilliant colors! As always, your painting is spot on!
Such bright, pretty colors in these flowers, Lolly! Love the gold embossing too!
This is a bright and pretty card Loll, so springy. I need to remember to heat emboss outlines before coloring, such a huge help when watercoloring. I also want to watercolor with distress inks this year. Love the colors in this one! Hugs, Brenda
Would you just look at this gloriously beautiful piece of work! Stunning coloring, and I really love the stamp!
Beautiful Loll, the touch of gray for shadowing really makes the colours pop :)
Beautifully watercoloured - and so lovely with the gold heat embossing.
Before I got to the paragraph where you said so yourself, Lolly, I was thinking to myself of how you used your favorite colors to beautifully paint this floral spray embossed in gold! It is bright and happy with a perfect sediment! Happy New Year! Hugs, Dolly
Oh so pretty and so cheerful!Beautifully done and a little touch of Spring in a cold and dull winter makes me happy!
This is gorgeous Loll, I love the bright colours.

The gold heat-embossed shiny outline and the beautiful coloring make this card truly bright and happy, Loll! The light gray shadow is subtle but it makes a huge difference in showing off the gorgeous flowers!

beautiful soft colors inside your gold embossed flowers Loll - the black strip sentiment is so striking over it!
Definitely Loll colours! This is so pretty and delicate. The gold embossing shines so beautifully. Wonderful watercoloring as always.
They are bright happy colors, Loll, made even more so by the gold embossing.
The shine of the gold heat embossed bouquet is so pretty with your bright watercoloring! Love your CAS card with all the happy colors!
Oh this is so stunning Loll!s uch beautiful flowers and colouring and love the gold embossing too. Stay safe and well ;) hugs Viv xx
The golden embossing for your delicate flowers looks perfect. Thanks to this, the sharpness of the shapes is kept and at the same time the flowers are so elegant. I love that you used light colors with a large gradation of color intensity.
