The cute sets are adorable and the flowers are incredible.

I can't wait to use it all but I made a bee line for those hibiscus. 

I wanted something really bright and colorful so I decided to do a pit of watercoloring with my Distress Oxides. Once that was dry I went in with my Copics to add a bit of shading.

I actually kept the shading to a minimum. Crazy right?

I added one color to each leaf or flower and then used a gray to put in a slight shadow. That just helped to create a separation between the images and the background. 

With the sentiment I originally stamped it but it was a no go. Approach number two was a bit of heat embossing. I tried the fabulous die with hot pink paper originally but I didn't love it. I ended up gluing a black die cut letter to the same one in pink just slightly off center. This creates a super fun drop shadow which I love!! 

I popped everything up on foam tape and then gave the flowers and fabulous letters a healthy dose of clear glitter :) 

You can watch the whole card come together while listening to me speak a mile a minute in the video below. 

So many things to do, 

I'll be back soon!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
