This potentially could be my favorite card that I made.  Haha.  I LOVE watercoloring, & I love how this watercoloring turned out.  I made one a bit lighter, and one a bit darker.  And then I still am using those fun tassels that I have saved for a few years! 😍

Also have a fun little tip to share.  See that fun detail on the bottom of the watercolored panel?!  I did this in the first card that I shared, but I have a picture today to show you how I did it. 

You first cut out one of these die-cut shapes from the Round We Go Dies ...  then follow the directions on the photo! 

So much fun, huh?!  More photos below highlighting each of the cards individually!

I did color the stamped tassel with the Light Pecan Pie Blends Marker, after I watercolored the rest of the panel.  But the basic steps to this are: stamp image in Versamark & emboss with white embossing powder.  Then color!  I let each color dry before moving on to the next color.  The last thing I did was color the tassel with the Blends marker.

Of course I also added the little pocket to the inside of these cards also!  I really love this a whole bunch! 😍
