Many Blessings!

I have a card to share today! I am playing along with PTI Make It Monday watercolor Stencil challenge.

Since I did not have repositional paper available, I die cut the larger fern leaf from PTI Meadow Greens using one of the PTI coasters for a thicker stencil. I thought this would soak up some excess water. I used watercolor paper and watercolored the leaf using the die cut stencil portion. I do not think it is crisp by any means, but I love the free flowing look to the edges so I decided to work with it.

I gold embossed the smaller fern leaf in the set using versamark. I love how it looks layered on the watercolor paper and image. Next, I die cut a rectangle from Fabulous Frames dies and white embossed the sentiment from Scripted stamp set. I finished my card with some loose threading and gold sequins. I like how it turned out. It has a bit of a masculine vibe to me. What do you think?

I am also playing along with a few other blog challenges.
CASE this Sketch, CAS-ual Fridays,(embossing) Inkspirational (kraft), and Sweet Stampin' (no designer papers)challenges.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

A lovely design, the embossed leaf looks beautiful against the soft water coloured one. This could be used for so many occasions! Thank you for joining us at Sweet Stampin' this week.

I'm loving the beautiful colour combo and design. And, of course, you even do the thread perfectly.
