For today’s blog hop I created two watercolour cards using the newly released products. My first card features Craft Your Life Project Kit: Splendid Bouquet and Painter's Palette Watercolour Tube Bundle
 
happy birthday

I started by stamping a floral bouquet with light grey ink onto a watercolour paper from Watercolour Paper Set (A2 loose sheets) - Cold Pressed. Next, I die cut it with coordinating die and used Primary Yellow, Sv Orange, Olive Green and French Ultramarine Artists' Watercolour Tubes to colour the bouquet in.

To finish the design I stamped leafy branches from Mini Delight: Plants & Vases Stamp & Die Set with Forest Glades Fresh Dye Ink and added the sentiment from Craft Your Life Project Kit: Splendid Bouquet

For my second card I combined watercolours with Bubble Wrap Stencil to create a watercoloured background.

This time I mixed Primary Yellow and Olive Green Artists' Watercolour Tubes for a different shades of green.

To finish my card I added white panel with a sentiment from Craft Your Life Project Kit: Splendid Bouquet and two leafy branches created with Rustling Leaves Bundle. I used Rustling Leaves Die Set to die cut the leafy branches out of white cardstock and then run them through an embossing machine with Rustling Leaves 3D Embossing Folder for an extra texture.
