Hi everyone!! I'm so excited today because I will be Winnie & Walter Leading Lady for August!

I LOVE Winnie & Walter products, I'm sure I will have fun playing this month! The latest big April/ May release is so amazing...there are many ideas that pop up in my mind.

Today I want to share with you about Watercolor Background. I love using watercolor not only for coloring but also for making the background.

Here is my first card :

Winnie & Walter Supply that I'm using :
True for the big stars and the sentiment Treasure
The Big, the Bold and Comfort for the sentiment You Are
Scenery : Big Bang Confetti for the tiny stars

First, I make the sentiment using white embossing powder and I add watercolor as a background. To make the background, first I add water with my brush on watercolor paper and I add black, blue and red watercolor. There's purple in it because if blue and red mixed, it will be purple.  To make it more dramatic, when the paper still wet, you can splash watercolor in it with brush. It will be mixed and beautiful! I also splash some watercolor after the paper already get dry.

The big stars are using silver embossing powder, I also add Wink of Stella clear glitters on it. The tiny stars are from dark blue ink.

My second card is festive and fun!

Winnie & Walter Supply that I'm using :
The Party for the images and sentiment
Essentials: Audrey Cutaways for the frame die cut

First, I'm using white embossing powder on card stock paper, then color it with COPIC and cut it with my scissor. The sentiment is from gold embossing powder. I cut the inner part of the die cut from Audrey Cutaways to make it like a frame.

To make the background watercolor, I'm using the same way like the first card with turquoise, yellow and pink colors but this time I splash white watercolor with my brush on it. For the final touch, I add sequins and twine.

I hope you like it and this is the fun part!
