For my card today, I went all out with our new wildflower stamps: Wishful Wildflowers, Wildflower Banner and Modern Labels.
I started off by gold heat embossing the four corners of my card panel with the large floral portion of the Wildflower Banner stamp. Then I heat embossed the individual blooms from our Wishful Wildflowers in the same gold powder. Next I colored in all the blooms with the same yellow and orange zig markers (50 Yellow, 52 Bright Yellow, 57 Orange). For my foliage I chose a minty green (No 45 Pale Green) which gave it more of a tropical look (which was not something that I was expecting but was pleasantly surprised at).
Next I heat embossed my Modern Label and sentiment. When all the embossing and coloring was complete, I die cut everything with their coordinating dies. Before I assembled everything onto my panel, I added stitching to the edges of my colored panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles die (large) set. Then I popped up the label in the center of my colored panel and then created clusters with my individual wildflowers at the top and bottom edges of my label.
For my next two cards, I white heat embossed our Peony Crush background stamp on a watercolor panel and watercolored with color bursts. However my technique for the card shown on the right utilized a different technique. My video shows how I made the card on the right.
For the card shown on the right: After I heat embossed the background image, I started painting the peonies with my color burst powders. I started off by wetting the area I was planning on painting on first with water. Then I dropped a little bit of color (Peony color burst) onto the wet areas.
Once I finished watercoloring my panel, I set it aside to dry. While that was drying, I white heat embossed my You’ve Got sentiment (from our new Mini Mail set) onto black cardstock and then cut it out to create a sentiment panel. Next I used our Pretty Mail word plate to die cut the bottom portion of my panel.
Next I adhered some Turquoise Foil Adhesive Paper underneath the window onto a cardbase and then adhered the watercolor panel onto the base with our strong double sided adhesive. I popped up my black sentiment piece above my die cut Pretty Mail and that completes my card!
That’s all from me today! I hope you enjoyed my cards and hope you’ll hop along with us. Before you leave here, this is a reminder that there are more giveaways today!

Very pretty card and I like the fact you used color burst in your palette instead of on the card. I have only used mine one time because I hate putting them on the paper.
