I have 3 different cards to share with you today. The first one is using the Sunflower Frame die. For my card, I cut the die out of yupo paper, and colored it in with Ranger Alcohol Inks and a very small paintbrush. I added foam tape and adhered to a card where I had adhered a panel stamped with the You Matter background to really let the flower shine.

For my second card, I used the Faceted Stripes Stencil. I used Distress Oxides and blended a soft palette of colors through the stencil, added some small sprays of water to get those lovely water dots and then added plenty of Nuvo drops in coordinating colors. I finished off the card with a simple CZ Design Thanks die and a sentiment strip stamped with the Simple Sentiments 2 stamps.

For my last card, I used the jellyfish from the Never Quit Swimming stamp set….and the "what the Jell" sentiment combined with a simple Hey Die cut from the CZ Design Hey Wafer dies. I created the background with lots of layers of watercolor, some splatters and a spray of iridescent shine.
