And now are some tips to help you make it yourself! 

Stamp a confetti image in VersaMark ink on watercolor paper, then emboss it with white embossing powder. This creates a “resist” for the ink, so when you add color, the stamped images still show. Color the banner piece over the embossed images by using a Water Painter and Pool Party ink. Tip: Before opening the ink pad, squeeze it together so that the lid is squishing onto the ink pad. This creates a little pool of ink in the top of the lid, making it easy to grab the ink with your Water Painter.


Paper flower time! Die cut six large scallop shapes from cardstock. Stack the layers together and staple twice in the middle, overlapping the staples. Grab a Stampin’ Spritzer filled with rubbing alcohol and spritz the top flower layer. Scrunch that layer up towards the center. Repeat by spritzing the layers and scrunching them up, creating the full flower. Gasp as you see a few flat layers of cardstock become something so special and gorgeous! Repeat with different color cardstocks and/or the pointy scallop die to make as many flowers as you want!

Die cut five daisies. Using a Mini Glue Dot between each layer, adhere the layers together, alternating the petals. Then, just pull the petals up towards the center and add a Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearl to the center.


Adhere the flowers to the banner pieces, scrunching them close to each other for a full look. Add some leaves with the Bough Punch and any greeting you want!
