For my first card today, I created a floral border using our Daffodil Greetings. This set made it so easy to create a border design. After I embossed my florals, I painted them using Prussian Blue, Terre Vert and Lime Green/Naples Yellow Mix color bursts. 
Now onto the rest of the release!
Autumn Wishes, 4×6 Set
Our new Autumn Wishes set features several branch clusters and adorable bird images to create seasonal scenes that are perfect to send fall greetings to your loved ones.

Photo taken against our Natural Wood 12×12 inch Backdrop Board
For my first card, I was channeling my inner Kay Miller! With so many stamps to showcase, I had to draw inspiration from this amazing community. For this card, I stamped the cluster branches on a watercolor panel in our Noir Dye Ink (which can be used to watercolored over). Then I dropped in different shades of reds, oranges, yellows and browns onto my branches using the wet on wet watercolor technique. Once I was satisfied with the amount of color, I set the panel aside to dry. Then I splattered brown watercolor paint all over my panel. Lastly I stamped the sentiment in our Dark Roast Dye Ink and mounted the panel onto a side folding A2 base.

For my next card, I created a scene using our new Autumn Wishes. I started off by blending cards onto an white A2 cardstock panel using our Arctic Sky Dye Ink and a homemade cloud stencil. Since my ink was light, I stamped my branch clusters directly onto my clouds and colored the images in with a combination of yellow, orange and brown zig markers. After I stamped the sentiment, I stamped additional birds on a separate card panel, colored them in, cut them out and popped them up on my branches. Lastly, I adhered my colored panel onto a dusty blue side folding A2 base.
How adorable are these birds!!

My last Autumn Wishes card is more simple than my first two projects. I gold heat embossed my branch clusters onto the top and bottom edges of an A2 watercolor panel. Then I added watercolor paint and stamped the sentiment in our Dark Roast Dye Ink. Next I trimmed the left and right edges and mounted the panel onto an A2 side folding kraft card base.

For my next card, I rose gold heat embossed the different images from our new Rose Bouquet set onto the edges of my A2 watercolor panel. Then I painted the images with color burst paint and stamped the sentiment with our Noir Dye Ink. Lastly, I mounted the panel onto a side folding base and embellished it with clear rhinestones.

For my next card, I did some selective masking with the bouquet images from our Rose Bouquet and Modern Labels (all stamped with our Noir Dye Ink). Next I watercolored the images, stamped the sentiment and added stitching to edges of my panel using our Double Stitched Rectangle Dies (large). Lastly, I mounted the panel onto an A2 base and added our Clear Dew Drops (7mm and 5mm).

For my next card, I white heat embossed my Wishful Rose and did some loose watercolor painting with my color bursts. Once I finished painting, I stamped the sentiment in our Noir Ink and added Clear Dew Drops.

For my last card, I rose gold heat embossed the large floral cluster from our Pretty Plumeria. I did some more loose watercoloring using a combination of Fuchsia, Gamboge, Terre Vert and Lemon Yellow color bursts. Next, I stamped the sentiment in our Noir Dye Ink, trimmed the edges of my panel adhered it to a cardbase. Prior to mounting the panel, I added Burnished Rose Gold foil tape to my base. Lastly I added Clear Dew Drops to embellish my card.
That’s all from me today! I hope you liked my projects! Don’t forget to subscribe to our Youtube Channel because I’ll be updating our channel with more videos on how I made my release cards!
