📦 🥰 First up ... my card uses a bundle that I received FREE in one of my Artisan boxes!  Yes ... that is right!  ONE of my boxes!  We get several throughout the year and believe me -  it is absolutely fabulous & exciting to have these boxes show up!  

🎨 😍 I was assigned this bundle for one of my assignements.  We get to participate in a variety of assignments as an Artisan Design Team member.  I love this piece because it truly has helped me grow in my creativity in more ways that I could share here! 

💓🌎 Saving the best for last ... the people!  I made a "Hello Darling" card in honor of all my Artisan friends!  The worldwide community of friendships created by being an Artisan is one that I carry with me forever.  "Once an Artisan, always an Artisan" is what this team is about. 

I will never be able to put into words what this team means to me.  But this hop is one way of trying to share!  😃  I just feel so fortunate to be an Artisan.  And we are so excited to share a bit about it all in this hop!!! 

Of course I want to share each card in a little more of a detailed way.  So let's get started! 

I think I will be obsessed with doing rainbows like this now.  Hee.  I first watercolored onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  Then dried it with my heat tool & added some gold splatter.  (To do this I just splattered Pecan Pie ink and then quickly added gold embossing powder.)  Then I used the fabulous rainbow die from this Sunshine Vibes Bundle from Stampin' Up! to die cut the individual rainbow pieces.  Look how pretty it is!!! ... 

Then I just used some of the rainbow arches mixed in with some of the other rainbow pieces from the die set that I cut out in white.  ***TIP:  Add Adhesive Sheet to the back of your cardstock before die-cutting to make them easy to stick to your project! 💖

Then these other bits were made in a few ways.  I watercolored a bit of Strawberry Slush onto watercolor paper.  Dried it, then stamped & embossed the greeting over it.  The floral image was just stamped & embossed in white embossing powder onto Basic White cardstock.  I fussy cut it out and then sponged some Peach Pie ink lightly over it.  I like doing these techniques because it gives you more control over the color saturation.  I wanted more subtle colors for these cards.  

And then one last tip.  I used the sunburst stamp to just stamp around the whole card to give it a fun background. 

I was originally just going to make one card.  But let's be honest ... I feel in love with the negative die part from the watercolored paper too.  Hee.  So I made both! 

Used the same supplies, same techniques, and got 2 cards!  That I am in love with.  Trust me ... they look better in person and I just keep looking at them.  Hee.  One last look at both cards: 

Thank you so much for visiting!  I hope you HOP on over to Instagram so you can see what everyone on the team made & shared with you!
