Here is my project!

nicu hop anemone card

For my card, I chose the beautiful and subtle color palette created by Lea for my Anemone Border watercolored card.

Be sure to follow us on YouTube for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!

I started off by gold heat embossing my Anemone Border image onto watercolor paper (Canson XL 140lb). Then I added my subtle bits of watercolor using a wet on wet technique. I used the same hues in the mood board (gray, mint and yellow).

Next, I watercolored a separate piece of watercolor paper with the same warm yellow tone used on my floral panel. I die cut my amazing word plate sentiment right onto the watercolored pattern and then popped up the individual letters with foam tape. I additional die cut the you from mint cardstock and adhered that directly onto my floral panel. Lastly, added our Clear Rhinestones to embellish my project.

I hope you enjoyed my project! Your next stop is Waffleflower!
